Steps:
- Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a dry paper towel. Don't wash them! Separate the stems, trim off any bad parts, and coarsely chop the stems. Slice the mushroom caps 1/4-inch thick and, if they are big, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- To make the stock, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot. Add the chopped mushroom stems, the onion, carrot, the sprig of thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add 6 cups water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Strain, reserving the liquid. You should have about 4 1/2 cups of stock. If not, add some water.
- Meanwhile, in another large pot, heat the remaining 1/4 pound of butter and add the leeks. Cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the leeks begin to brown. Add the sliced mushroom caps and cook for 10 minutes, or until they are browned and tender. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine and stir for another minute, scraping the bottom of the pot. Add the mushroom stock, minced thyme leaves, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the half-and-half, cream, and parsley, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and heat through but do not boil. Serve hot.
CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP
This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains no actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Tips:
- Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms. Just be sure to soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
- Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. Sautéing the mushrooms will help to bring out their flavor and give the soup a richer taste.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. The chicken broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Add some fresh herbs to the soup. Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage, can help to brighten up the flavor of the soup.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche. Sour cream or crème fraîche will add a creamy richness to the soup.
