Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring for 3-5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add chopped mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release juices and turn golden brown.
  3. Pour in vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Blend the soup until smooth, leaving some mushroom chunks for texture.
  5. Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in cottage cheese and mix until heated through.
  6. If thicker texture is desired, mix cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the soup, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
