Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 250 grams mixed mushrooms (e.g., cremini, shiitake, and oyster), diced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8
