Equipment
- Large pot

- Measuring cups and spoons
- Blender or immersion blender (for creaming the soup)
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh mushrooms sliced
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 large Onion chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare Your Ingredients
- Use a damp paper towel to clean your mushrooms first. Slice them evenly.
- Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Cook the Aromatics
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add onions and garlic, sautéing until they are soft and translucent.
Add Mushrooms and Broth
- Toss in the sliced mushrooms and stir until they start to sweat and brown slightly.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are very soft.
Blend the Soup
- Carefully transfer the soup to a blender, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot, and blend until smooth.
- Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the heavy cream, and heat through. For extra flavor, add thyme, salt, and pepper.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
- Enhance the soup with a splash of truffle oil for an extra touch of luxury before serving.
