In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Stir in the soy sauce and thyme, mixing well to coat the mushrooms.
Pour in the vegetable broth, stirring everything together. Let the mixture simmer for about 3 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, mixing until smooth to create a slurry.
