Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 500 grams Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 250 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes or until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced cremini and button mushrooms to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture.

Step 4

Stir in the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute, allowing the spices to flavor the mushrooms.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and heat gently over low heat until the soup is warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
