Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until browned and tender. Remove the mushrooms and set them aside.

Step 7

Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and optional pearl onions. Stir well to combine.

Return the sautéed mushrooms to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
