What is required:<\/p>\n
Half a liter of butter<\/p>\n
1 minced little onion<\/p>\n
oil from olives, 1\/4 cup<\/p>\n
1 pound of sliced mushrooms (any kind, including portobello, cremini, button, etc.)<\/p>\n
Two garlic cloves, minced<\/p>\n
thyme, either half a teaspoon dry or one teaspoon fresh<\/p>\n
Season to taste with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n
Boil 3 cups of chicken or vegetable stock.<\/p>\n
A 1.5-quart measuring cup of heavy cream; 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour may be added for thickening purposes.<\/p>\n
For decoration, you may add chopped fresh parsley.<\/p>\n
Steps to take:<\/p>\n
In a large saucepan, melt the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Brown the mushrooms. Simmer, stirring often, for 8 to 10 more minutes or until the sliced mushrooms begin to brown and release their juices.<\/p>\n
Aromatherapy for Flavor: To soften, saut\u00e9 the chopped onion for about 5 minutes. After a minute or two, stir in the minced garlic and thyme, and keep cooking until they release their aroma. Season to taste with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, a Roux is an option: Simmer, whisking constantly, for a another minute or two as the mushrooms cook. This will cause the soup to thicken.<\/p>\n
Slowly add the broth and mix well, stirring regularly. To let the flavors to blend, simmer for 10\u201315 minutes after the ingredients reach a boil.<\/p>\n
You may use an immersion blender or carefully pour some of the soup into a blender to smooth it up if you like.<\/p>\n
While stirring, slowly heat the heavy cream or half-and-half, being cautious not to boil. To taste, adjust the salt and pepper seasoning.<\/p>\n
Spoon the soup into each dish before serving, and if desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.<\/p>\n
