Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the silver dollar mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are softened and browned.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth, and add salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of it.

  5. 5

    Add Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Heat through for an additional 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of cream or a sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired.
