Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 120 milliliters dry white wine
- 1 liter vegetable stock
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 loaf crusty bread, for serving
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel. Slice them thinly and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
Add the finely chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown slightly.
Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.
Add the vegetable stock and fresh thyme leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a stand blender, then return to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Let the soup gently heat through for 2-3 minutes without boiling.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
