1 medium onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups mushrooms sliced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for 15 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream and cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
Serve garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut milk or almond milk for the cream. You can also use a rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.
