Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button), sliced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 cup heavy cream

3 tbsp butter

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their juices and become tender.

      Create a Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

        Add Broth and Seasonings: Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring continuously. Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

          Blend the Soup: For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or blend in batches using a regular blender).

            Stir in Cream: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Heat through but do not boil.

              Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
