Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 500 grams mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and brown slightly, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually add the low sodium broth, stirring well to ensure no lumps form from the flour.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the low-fat milk and add the chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.

Step 10

Allow the soup to gently heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
