Enjoy a rich and earthy Creamy Mushroom and Thyme Soup. This recipe brings the cozy feeling of a Sunday kitchen right to your table with wild mushrooms and fresh thyme.

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

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and thyme; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it cook for 15 minutes.
  6. Carefully transfer about half of the soup mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  7. Return the blended portion to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream.
  8. Heat gently until warmed through; do not boil.
  9. 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.
