Instant Pot Creamy Mushroom Soup

Recipe Description

Super simple Instant Pot Creamy Mushroom Soup. The perfect cozy bowl of rich and creamy mushroom soup when you are craving something warm on a cold night. Finish each bowl off with a grind or two of fresh black pepper and serve with crusty bread, and you’ve created a restaurant-quality meal. 

The soup is all made in one pot, and I really do like using my Instant Pot in this recipe. The first step requires you to melt some butter. Then sauté onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Then just stir in the chicken broth, sherry, dried thyme, Worcestershire sauce, salt and black pepper. Cook in the Instant Pot. When the soup is done, add the cream-flour mixture and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until thickened. If you want a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend roughly half the soup. Make sure to keep some mushroom pieces whole for texture. Ladle the creamy mushroom soup into the bowls and serve hot.

To make this Instant Pot Creamy Mushroom Soup, you will need the following ingredients:

La zuppa di funghi cremosa è diventata subito un successo a casa! Era così semplice da preparare e il sapore era eccezionale. Abbiamo gustato questa zuppa insieme a del pane croccante durante una fredda sera d'inverno. Un piatto che ripeterò sicuramente!
