Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Keep it hot but not smoking.
  2. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until translucent, stirring often.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, allowing them to sweat and release their juices.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in cottage cheese and milk, blending until smooth.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  1. For a richer soup, consider adding a splash of cream. For a dairy-free option, use almond milk and a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative.
