Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the 500 grams of chopped mushrooms to the pot. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are browned, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.

Blending and Finishing

  1. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender. Be cautious with the hot liquid.

  2. 5

    Add Cream

    Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream into the blended soup. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through. Do not bring to a boil.

  3. 6

    Prepare Garnish

    In a small pan, sauté the additional 100 grams of sliced mushrooms in a bit of butter until golden brown. Chop the fresh parsley.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Ladle the hot mushroom soup into bowls and top with sautéed mushrooms and chopped parsley. Enjoy your creamy mushroom soup!
