A creamy and comforting mushroom soup perfect for chilly days, made with fresh mushrooms and fragrant thyme.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by cleaning the mushrooms. Wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and slice the mushrooms thinly. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes translucent.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the garlic to become fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
  5. Sprinkle in the dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
  6. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
  7. After simmering, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can blend only half and leave the other half intact.
  8. Once blended, stir in the heavy cream and heat through, but do not bring back to a boil.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. If desired, add more salt, pepper, or thyme.
  10. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream if it thickens too much. Can be frozen for up to two months.
