Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1.25 lb mixed mushrooms, sliced cremini and button mix works well
- 1.25 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground to taste
- 1.25 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp dried
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup dry white wine or dry sherry
- 4.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream warm slightly
- 1 tsp lemon juice optional, brightens flavor
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high until foamy.
- Add mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until they release liquid and brown, 8–10 minutes.
- Stir in onion. Cook until softened and lightly golden, 4–5 minutes.
- Add garlic and thyme. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook the flour.
- Pour in white wine. Scrape the pot to release browned bits; simmer 1 minute.
- Gradually stir in broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer uncovered until slightly thickened and flavors meld, 12–15 minutes.
- Blend part of the soup with an immersion blender to your preferred texture.
- Stir in cream and lemon juice. Season with remaining salt and pepper to taste; warm gently.
- Ladle into bowls and finish with parsley and extra pepper.
Notes
For extra depth, sauté a diced carrot with the onion, or finish bowls with a drizzle of truffle oil. Prefer a lighter soup? Swap half the cream with whole milk. To store, refrigerate up to 4 days; reheat gently without boiling. For freezing, skip the cream, freeze the base up to 2 months, then add warmed cream after reheating.
