Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Portabella mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Vegetable stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.
Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced portabella mushrooms to the pot and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and become tender.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the vegetable stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Blend the soup using an immersion blender directly in the pot, or carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, and blend until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat to warm the cream through, being careful not to let it boil.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
