Creamy Mushroom Soup | Low Carb | Keto
There’s nothing quite as comforting as a giant bowl of soup for dinner on a chilly evening. This soup is simple to make and can be made in under 30 minutes, making a perfect weeknight meal. The base of the soup is made with chicken bone broth. Bone broth is highly nutritious, protein packed, stock used in soups and stews. It also adds depth and flavor to this mushroom soup. Mushroom soups are normally thickened with a roux made with flour, however I've learned to thicken the soup with pureed mushrooms making it gluten-free and lowcarb/keto friendly. Before adding the cream to the soup, you reserve some of the mixture and puree it in a blender or food processor and then return it back to the soup. Then finish of the soup with heavy whipping cream or half and half. It is so luscious and delicious! Serve with a salad and a low carb bread or biscuit. Perfect comfort food!

Directions:
1. Heat butter and oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until melted.
2. Place your onions in the pot and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until mushroom are browned and moisture from mushrooms has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Pour in the wine and allow to cook for 2 minutes. Add in the dill, coconut aminos and bone broth. Simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Thicken the soup: remove the soup from the heat, and ladle about one third into either a blender or food processor. Puree the mixture until smooth. Return the pureed mixture back to the soup pot.
5. Stir in heavy cream and heat through (do not boil).
Serve immediately, garnish with parsley. If you have leftover mushrooms you can saute them and use as garnish as well. Soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
