Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter and olive oil.
  2. Add mushrooms and onions. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned.
  3. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle in flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flavor.
  5. Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Stir in heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  8. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth. You can also blend part of the soup for a creamier texture.
