Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Clean and slice the mushrooms. Dice the onion and chop the fresh thyme.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Thyme and Sherry

    Stir in the chopped thyme and cook for another minute. Pour in the sherry wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the alcohol has evaporated.

  4. 4

    Add Broth

    Pour in the porcini mushroom broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.

  6. 6

    Finish with Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat the soup gently until warmed through, do not boil.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Ladle the cream of mushroom soup into bowls and garnish with additional thyme if desired. Serve hot.
