Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pinch salt
1 head onion, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
6 sprigs thyme, fresh
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups veg broth
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup chardonnay
1 cup whipping cream
1 pinch salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds sliced fresh mushrooms
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter & olive oil 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.
  • Mix onion and garlic into mushrooms and cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 more minutes.
  • 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.
  • Add the chardonnay, garlic and fresh herbs. Sauté until the liquid is reduced
  • Stir flour into mushroom mixture and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  • Pour stock and water into mushroom mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in cream. Season with salt and black pepper and serve in bowls. Garnish with reserved thyme leaves.

This soup was a disaster. It turned out lumpy and flavorless.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

This soup was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of cream in this soup. It turned out great!
