Ingredients

• 200 grams button mushrooms
• 150 grams shiitake mushrooms
• 150 grams cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms: Wipe the button, shiitake, and cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Slice them thinly and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Prepare all ingredients before beginning to cook.

Step 3

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and bubbly.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well, cooking for 1–2 minutes to remove any raw flour taste.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while stirring to ensure no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 8

Add the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

After 15 minutes, use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup, leaving some chunks of mushrooms for texture. (Alternatively, carefully transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.)

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to warm through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
