In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
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.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth and stir in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and ground black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the fat-free half-and-half and cornstarch until smooth.
Slowly pour the half-and-half mixture into the pot while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
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.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
