Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 pound (sliced) Baby Bella mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon (fresh or dried) Thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Transfer the cooked onions and garlic to the crock pot. Add the sliced mushrooms, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the crock pot and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the mushrooms are tender.
In a small bowl, whisk the heavy cream with the all-purpose flour until smooth. Add the mixture to the crock pot and stir well.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Stir this into the soup to thicken it slightly.
Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes on HIGH until the soup thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot with crusty bread or as a base for your favorite casserole recipes. Enjoy!
