How to Make Best Ever Mushroom Soup

1. Finely dice 1 medium onion.
2. Clean and halve 1 pound of mixed mushrooms (cremini, button, oyster, etc.).
3. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
4. Add the halved mushrooms and cook for another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and onions. Stir vigorously to ensure no lumps remain and cook for 1 minute.
6. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of vegetable or chicken stock, stirring constantly to prevent clumping. Scrape the bottom of the pot to ensure no bits of flour remain.
7. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, continuing to stir.
8. Continue adding the remaining stock (2 cups) and milk (1 cup) alternately, whisking constantly until all liquid is incorporated and the soup is smooth.
9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
10. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
11. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
