Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium green chili peppers, finely chopped
• 400 grams mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and chopped green chili peppers, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they release their liquid and soften.

Step 5

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the soup does not boil after adding the cream.

Step 9

For a smooth texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency, or leave it chunky for a rustic feel.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and serve hot with a side of crusty bread.
