Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 4 ounces Shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
• 4 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 4

Add the sliced cremini, shiitake, and button mushrooms to the pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves and flour over the cooked mushrooms. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable stock while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let the soup heat through, but do not bring it to a boil after adding the cream.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and crusty bread on the side if desired.
