Soup Ingredients

Crusty Bread Ingredients

Method

Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest as is.

  5. 5

    Stir in Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes to heat through. Adjust seasoning if needed.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Bread Directions

  1. 7

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the loaf of bread into thick slices.

  2. 8

    Mix Butter Spread

    In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley until well combined.

  3. 9

    Spread and Bake

    Spread the butter mixture generously on each slice of bread. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until golden and crispy.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Serve the freshly baked crusty bread alongside the warm mushroom soup.
