Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 500 grams Wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (such as cremini, shiitake, oyster, or chanterelles)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• 0 Crusty bread or croutons (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the sliced wild mushrooms to the pot and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and allow it to cook uncovered for 15 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

Step 6

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender. Leave a few mushroom pieces unblended for texture, if desired.

Step 7

Stir in the buttermilk, heavy cream, and fresh thyme leaves. Heat the soup gently over low heat for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let it boil, as the buttermilk may curdle.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by crusty bread or croutons, if desired.
