Ingredients

  • 5 cups vegetable broth

  • ½ cup butter, divided

  • 1 carrot, cut into matchstick-size pieces

  • ½ white onion, cut into matchstick-size pieces

  • ½ leek, cut into matchstick-size pieces

  • 2 stalks celery, cut into matchstick-size pieces

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 small yellow squash, cut into matchstick-size pieces

  • 2 small zucchini, cut into matchstick-size pieces

  • 2 ounces shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced

  • 2 ounces chanterelle mushrooms, thinly sliced

  • 2 ounces oyster mushroom caps, coarsely chopped

  • 2 white button mushrooms, thinly sliced

  • 1 portobello mushroom, quartered and thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 bunch chives, chopped

Directions

  1. Pour vegetable broth into a large pot; bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over low heat; increase heat to medium. Add carrot; cook and stir until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add onion, leek, celery, and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add yellow squash and zucchini; cook for 2 minutes.

  3. Pour carrot mixture into the vegetable broth. Keep broth simmering over low heat.

  4. Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter in the saucepan. Cook and stir chanterelle mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, button mushrooms, and portobello mushroom in the hot butter until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture; stir until a paste forms, 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. Stir mushroom and flour mixture into the vegetable broth. Pour in heavy cream; simmer until heated through, about 8 minutes. Season with cayenne, salt, and pepper. Garnish soup with chives.

Cook's Note:

Substitute veal or chicken broth for the vegetable broth if desired.
