Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Slice the mushrooms thinly and set aside.
Peel and finely chop the shallot and garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sautΓ© for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and become tender.
Stir in the thyme, cooking for an additional 1 minute to release its aroma.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a blender, ensuring you reserve a few mushroom slices for garnish if desired.
Add fresh parsley, white wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, Greek yogurt, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Slowly add the ice water to the blender while itβs running to achieve a chilled, silky consistency. Blend thoroughly.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as necessary. Transfer the soup to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.
Serve the soup in small bowls, garnished with reserved mushroom slices and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
