Ingredients

• 500 grams Portabella mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Vegetable stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.

Step 2

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced portabella mushrooms to the pot and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and become tender.

Step 7

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 8

Gradually pour in the vegetable stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Blend the soup using an immersion blender directly in the pot, or carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, and blend until smooth.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 11

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat to warm the cream through, being careful not to let it boil.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
