Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean and Chop Ingredients

    Clean the fresh mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they are soft and browned, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add Broth and Seasonings

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

  4. 5

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer it to a blender in batches.

  5. 6

    Add Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and heat the soup gently on low for an additional 5 minutes. Do not bring it to a boil after adding the cream.

Garnishing

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it on top of the soup before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
