Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened (about 3 minutes).
  2. Add mushrooms and thyme, cooking until the mushrooms release their moisture and soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Optional: Blend part of the soup for a creamy consistency or leave it chunky for texture.
  6. 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.
