How to Make Creamy Mushroom Soup

1. Sauté the Aromatics

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add onions and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant (about 3 minutes).

2. Cook the Mushrooms

  1. Stir in sliced mushrooms and thyme, cooking until they release their juices and turn golden brown (about 6-8 minutes).

3. Thicken the Soup

  1. Sprinkle flour (or cornstarch) over the mushrooms, stirring well to coat.
  2. Gradually add broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

4. Simmer & Blend

  1. Let the soup simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  2. If you prefer a chunky soup, leave it as is. For a smooth soup, blend with an immersion blender until creamy.

5. Add Cream & Seasoning

  1. Reduce heat to low, then stir in heavy cream and soy sauce.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then simmer for 2 more minutes.

6. Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs, croutons, or a drizzle of olive oil, and enjoy warm!
