Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Slice them evenly.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter along with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook them for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and begin to brown.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps from forming with the flour.

Step 8

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and thyme, and bring the soup to a boil.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup heat through, but do not boil, for another 5 minutes.

Step 11

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it's creamy and smooth. Alternatively, you can use a countertop blender but remember to blend in batches and vent the lid to avoid buildup of steam.

Step 12

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 13

Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small pan until it turns a golden brown to drizzle over the top of the served soup.

Step 14

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and a small drizzle of browned butter before serving.
