Instructions

1 Start by melting the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add
the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally,
until they release their moisture and begin to brown. This step helps to deepen
the flavor of the mushrooms, giving your soup a rich, earthy taste.
2 Once the mushrooms are browned, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for
another 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is
fragrant. Add the thyme and stir to combine. Add flour and stir to coat
vegetables and cook the flour, about 1-2 minutes. This step builds a wonderful
base for the soup.
3 Add the white wine and stir, scraping up any brown bits at the bottom of the
pan. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, stirring to mix everything
together. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes
until thickened. This also allows the flavors to meld and the mushrooms to
become tender.
4 If you prefer a smooth, creamy texture, use an immersion blender to blend the
soup until smooth. You can also transfer the soup in batches to a countertop
blender if you prefer a completely velvety finish. For a chunkier texture, blend
just half of the soup, leaving some mushroom pieces intact.
5 Lower the heat, then stir in the heavy cream. Let it warm through but avoid
bringing it to a boil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If you’re
using cashew or coconut cream for a vegan option, this is the step where you’d
add that as well.
6 Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, a drizzle of
truffle oil for a hint of elegance, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra
richness.
