Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
4 cups fresh mushrooms sliced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened (about 3 minutes).
Add mushrooms and thyme, cooking until the mushrooms release their moisture and soften, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Optional: Blend part of the soup for a creamy consistency or leave it chunky for texture.
Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, use coconut milk or oat milk instead of cream and vegetable broth for a plant-based option.
