Ingredients
  

Mushroom Base
  • 1 lb fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce for umami flavor
Creamy Mixture
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

Prepare the Mushroom Base
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are softened and browned, about 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, bringing to a simmer. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Blend and Finish the Soup
  1. Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Using a blender, puree the soup until smooth. You may need to do this in batches.
  2. Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, thyme, and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Heat the soup gently over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.
