Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and reduce in size.
Sprinkle in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the creamy mushroom soup in bowls, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
