Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1 lb button mushrooms sliced
  • ½ lb shiitake mushrooms stems removed, sliced
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare and Roast the Mushrooms: Clean and slice the mushrooms. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy at the edges.
  • Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, heat butter and a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the Mushrooms and Thyme: Add the roasted mushrooms to the pot, along with the fresh thyme. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Add the Broth: Slowly pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes.
  • Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy, or blend part of it for a chunkier texture.
  • Stir in the Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes without boiling.
  • Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot with fresh thyme or a drizzle of olive oil for garnish.

Notes

You can use a mix of different mushrooms to enhance the flavor. If you prefer a thicker soup, add a little more flour when making the roux.
