CHEF JOHN'S CREAMY MUSHROOM SOUP
This is one of my favorite soups of all time. It is so easy. The secret to this deep, rich soup is a long slow caramelization, the key to unlocking the mushroom's magic. This is just pure essence of mushroom.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms in butter with 1 pinch salt until the mushrooms give off their juices; reduce heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring often, until juices evaporate and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Set aside a few attractive mushroom slices for garnish later, if desired. Mix onion into mushrooms and cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 more minutes.
- Stir flour into mushroom mixture and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Tie thyme sprigs into a small bundle with kitchen twine and add to mushroom mixture; add garlic cloves. Pour chicken stock and water into mushroom mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Remove thyme bundle.
- Transfer soup to a blender in small batches and puree on high speed until smooth and thick.
- Return soup to pot and stir in cream. Season with salt and black pepper and serve in bowls, garnished with reserved mushroom slices and a few thyme leaves.

Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. This will help to develop their flavor and add a nice depth of flavor to the soup.
- Use a good quality broth. This is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the mushrooms. They should be tender, but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream. This will add a nice finishing touch to your soup.
