Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 16 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon thyme dried
For the Topping
  • 1 cup croutons for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 10 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and browned.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend half and leave the rest as is.
