Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Cremini Mushrooms plus more for roasting and garnishing
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion thinly sliced
  • 1.5 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Thyme plus more for garnish
  • 1 Teaspoon Soy Sauce
  • 3.5 Cups Vegetable Broth You can add 3 cups if you like a thicker consistency of soup.
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt Adjust if needed
  • 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese thinly shaved
  • 1 Tablespoon Heavy Cream Garnishing

Instructions

Prepare The Base Of The Soup

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the flour and cook for another minute.
  • Cook the Mushrooms
  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot.
  • At first, the mushrooms will seem like a lot, but they will quickly release moisture and reduce in volume. Continue cooking for 10–12 minutes until they are dark brown and most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • This step is important because it develops the deep, earthy flavor that makes the soup so delicious.
  • Add thyme, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and vegetable broth. Also, add shaved Parmesan cheese.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.

Blend the Soup

  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup.
  • If using a regular blender, work in batches and allow steam to escape safely.

Garnish

  • Garnish with heavy cream.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Serve hot with fresh herbs and crusty bread.
