Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 450 grams cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and sauté for 5-6 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture and become slightly golden.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat evenly, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and season with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Stir in the heavy cream and let the chowder simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. For a thicker consistency, use an immersion blender to partially blend the chowder, leaving some texture.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
