Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 shallot
- 125 milliliters white wine
- 250 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Clean the button mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Slice them thinly and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the shallot.
In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, sautéing until the shallot is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until it reduces by half, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for another 5 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend the mushroom mixture until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture in batches to a countertop blender and puree until smooth.
Return the mixture to the pan if using a countertop blender. Stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture gently simmer for an additional 5 minutes, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a soup, pasta sauce, or any base for a creamy dish.
