Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
16 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and mushrooms, cooking until softened, about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the minced garlic and flour, stirring continuously for 1 minute to combine.
- Gradually stir in the broth, then add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a low simmer, stirring often, until the soup thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and cook at a very low simmer, stirring for 2-3 more minutes until the soup reaches your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a lighter version, consider substituting heavy cream with milk or a non-dairy alternative.
Feel free to mix in other mushrooms for added flavor and texture.
This soup can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.
