How to Make Atkins Creamy Mushroom Soup
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 pound of sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option) and bring to a gentle simmer.
- In a small skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds and cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly toasted.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of the simmering broth into the sesame seed mixture until smooth and emulsified. This creates a luscious sesame butter sauce.
- Stir the sesame butter sauce into the mushroom broth. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream until completely incorporated and the soup is creamy and smooth.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives before serving. Enjoy!
