Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 500 grams fresh mushrooms (cremini, white button, or a mix), sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually add the chicken or vegetable stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender (be cautious of hot liquids).

Step 9

Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme leaves.

Step 10

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust as needed.

Step 11

Let the soup gently heat through for 2-3 minutes, but do not let it boil.

Step 12

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with finely chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
