Ingredients
¼ cup salted butter
2 cups chopped white onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1½ lbs cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Prep the Mushrooms:
Rinse and gently wipe dirt from the mushrooms. Trim ends and slice.
Sauté Aromatics:
In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Cook Mushrooms:
Add sliced mushrooms, soy sauce, and thyme. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
Add Flour & Broth:
Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and mix well. Pour in vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Finish with Cream:
Stir in heavy cream and let simmer for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve warm.
Notes
Use a mix of mushrooms (like shiitake or portobello) for deeper flavor.
For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and cream with plant-based alternatives.
Blend part of the soup for a smoother texture, or leave it chunky.
Great served with crusty bread or a green salad.
