Main Ingredients

  • 400 g mushrooms, sliced Use cremini or button mushrooms for best flavor.
  • 1 piece onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until soft.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices.
  • Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.
  • Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and heat through.
  • Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Cool the soup to room temperature before storing. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze in portions for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat gently on the stove. For a richer taste, add roasted garlic or a splash of white wine before adding the broth.
