As the air turns crisp and autumn arrives, isn’t it the perfect time for a comforting bowl of soup? Soupe aux champignons de Paris—a creamy mushroom soup—will gently warm you from the inside out, carrying you through chilly autumn evenings and into the depths of winter. That rich, earthy aroma of mushrooms? Simply irresistible! In France, mushrooms are called champignons de Paris, a name that hints at their origins—Paris is where they were first cultivated.

Cooking time: Approximately 40-50 minutes
Ingredients:

For 4 people:

  • About 300g of Mushrooms
  • Approx. 200g of Onions (1-2 pieces)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of Butter (adjust to your preference)
  • 4 tablespoons of Flour

  • 3 teaspoons of Bouillon
  • 100ml of Fresh Cream
  • Appropriate amount of Salt
  • Appropriate amount of Pepper
  • Appropriate amount of Parsley (if available)
How to make it:

1/ Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with parchment paper and slice them. Set aside about 4 pieces—these will be stir-fried later for decoration.

2/ Prepare the Stock: In a pot, heat 750ml of water, then add the bouillon to make stock.

3/ Chop the Vegetables: Finely chop the onion and parsley.

4/ Sauté the Onions and Mushrooms: In a separate (main) pot, melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter, add the onions, and stir-fry. Then, add the mushrooms and continue stir-frying.

5/ Add the Flour: Sprinkle in the flour little by little, mixing well to combine.
6/ Simmer the Soup: Pour in the prepared stock and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
7/ Blend Until Smooth: Turn off the heat and remove the pot from the stove. Use a hand blender to blend the soup into a smooth purée.


8/ Add the Final Touches: Return the pot to the heat, add the fresh cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
9/ Prepare the Garnish: In a separate frying pan, melt the remaining butter and fry the reserved 4 mushroom slices until golden brown.
10/ Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into plates, then top with the fried mushrooms and chopped parsley.

★Pair with toasted baguette or bread. Or you can top it with croutons.
★Butter is recommended because it brings out the flavor and richness, but you can also use margarine.
