Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 16 ounces Baby bella or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Fat-free half-and-half
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.

Step 5

Pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth and stir in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10 minutes.

Step 7

In a bowl, whisk together the fat-free half-and-half and cornstarch until smooth.

Step 8

Slowly pour the half-and-half mixture into the pot while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Step 9

Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If desired, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a creamier texture, leaving some mushroom bits for texture.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
