Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 450 grams Wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, oyster, and chanterelles), cleaned and roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 120 milliliters Dry white wine
• 950 milliliters Vegetable stock
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 loaf Crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the wild mushrooms to the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the mushrooms release their moisture and develop a slight golden color.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the thyme and flour, stirring well to coat the mushrooms. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and lift any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the vegetable stock and stir. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup partially to create a creamy base while keeping some mushroom chunks for texture. Alternatively, blend half of the soup in a blender and return it to the pot.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the soup is heated through but not boiling.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and accompanied by crusty bread, if desired.
