A velvety smooth mushroom soup in which the earthy flavor of mushrooms comes together with the umami depth of miso. Simple, nutritious, and perfect as a warm pick-me-up on a cold day.
Clean the mushrooms with a brush or a damp cloth. Cut them into slices. Chop the onion and press the garlic.
Melt the butter in a cooking pot and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the mushrooms and let them cook for 5 to 10 minutes until they release moisture and lightly brown.
Pour in the water, add the miso, and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and blend the soup until smooth with an immersion blender or blender.
Season further with pepper and salt, if necessary.
Ladle into deep plates and garnish with parsley or chives.
