• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 litre vegetable broth

Directions

Step 1

Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms into thin slices.

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

Add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent.
