Mushroom Soup Ingredients

Sourdough Bread Ingredients

Method

Mushroom Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the chopped wild mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender to puree. Return the soup to the pot.

  5. 5

    Stir in Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and heat through over low heat, adjusting seasoning if necessary. Do not boil after adding the cream.

Sourdough Bread Directions

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bread

    While the soup is simmering, prepare the sourdough bread by slicing it into thick slices. Toast the slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown.
