Instructions:

  1. Sauté the Aromatics:
    • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Create the Roux:
    • Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
  3. Add Liquids:
    • Gradually whisk in the vegetable or chicken broth to avoid lumps. Add the milk, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly.
  4. Incorporate Cream:
    • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the soup doesn’t boil.
  5. Adjust and Serve:
    • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
