Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Clean and slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure even cooking. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside fresh thyme leaves ready for use.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, cooking gently until they become soft and fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and continue sautéing until they release their juices and turn tender.
- Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the vegetable broth along with the apple cider vinegar, black pepper, salt, and fresh thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let flavors combine for about 15 minutes.
- Incorporate Cottage Cheese and Natural Gelling Agent: Lower the heat. Stir in the plant-based cottage cheese and natural gelling agent carefully, whisking to avoid lumps. Allow the soup to heat through until creamy and smooth while maintaining some texture.
- Final Taste Adjustment and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the thyme stems before serving. Enjoy your warm and soul-satisfying bowl of Cottage Cheese Mushroom Soup.
Notes

- Allow mushrooms to brown gently to develop deep savory notes.
- Stir carefully when adding cottage cheese to maintain a creamy texture.
- Simmer the soup slowly to let flavors fully blend without losing too much liquid.
- Season gradually and taste as you go to balance acidity and salt.
