Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 500 grams fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the vegetable stock while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the soup to simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream, parsley, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with an extra sprinkle of parsley if desired. Enjoy!
