Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 250 grams cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 500 milliliters vegetable or chicken stock
• 100 milliliters heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium pot over medium heat and melt the butter with the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and have released their moisture.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the vegetable or chicken stock while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Let the soup simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the soup is creamy and heated through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 10

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