A hearty and comforting Cottage Cheese Mushroom Soup made with sautéed mixed mushrooms, onions, garlic, and creamy cottage cheese, enhanced with thyme and fresh parsley for a flavorful, low-sodium, and nutritious meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound mixed mushrooms sliced (cremini, shiitake, button)
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat preferred
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat, then add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Cook Mushrooms. Add the sliced mixed mushrooms to the pot and sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add Broth and Seasonings. Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth, then stir in dried thyme (or fresh), salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to blend the flavors.
  4. Incorporate Cottage Cheese. Reduce heat to low and stir in the cottage cheese until fully combined and heated through, creating a creamy texture without boiling to prevent curdling.
  5. Adjust Seasoning and Serve. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a smoother soup, blend partially using an immersion blender before adding cottage cheese.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for richer flavor and creaminess.
  • Fresh thyme can be substituted with dried, but reduce quantity accordingly.
  • Low-sodium broth helps control salt levels—adjust seasoning at the end.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
