Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound mixed wild mushrooms, sliced
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and thyme; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it cook for 15 minutes.
Carefully transfer about half of the soup mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Return the blended portion to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream.
Heat gently until warmed through; do not boil.
Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, use dried porcini mushrooms soaked in hot water (use the strained soaking liquid as part of your broth).
If you prefer a thicker soup, blend more of the solids.
Taste before adding extra salt; broth can vary in sodium content.
