Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Creamy Mushroom Soup

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for another 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and browned.
3. Sprinkle in the fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine the flavors.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest as is.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a variety of mushrooms for a richer flavor profile; try adding shiitake or portobello.
• For a lower-calorie option, substitute half of the heavy cream with unsweetened almond milk or half-and-half.
• If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
• Always taste and adjust seasoning before serving to enhance the flavors.

Easy Variations

• Add a splash of white wine after sautéing the onions and mushrooms for added depth.
• Stir in some spinach or kale at the end for a boost of nutrients.
• Top with crispy bacon or sautéed leeks for extra texture and flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty sourdough or baguette for dipping
• A simple green salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette
• Grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic pairing
• Garlic bread for an irresistible side
