Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 16 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 8 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced cremini and button mushrooms to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and are lightly browned.

Step 5

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the pot, then sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Optionally, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a slightly smoother texture, leaving some mushroom pieces intact for heartiness.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with crusty bread or a side salad.
