Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
First, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the flour is cooked and the mixture is slightly browned.
Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth to the pot, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, until the broth has thickened and the mushrooms are fully cooked.
Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until it is heated through and the flavors have melded together. Serve hot and enjoy!
