Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent browning.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. This will help thicken the soup.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Once simmering, lower the heat slightly and let the soup cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, whole-grain mustard, and Dijon mustard. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Simmer for 2-3 more minutes until the soup is heated through and slightly thickened.

Step 10

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup if you prefer a smoother consistency, or leave as is for a chunkier texture.

Step 11

Serve the mustard soup hot in bowls, garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired.
