Equipment

dutch oven
blender

Ingredients
 

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 shallot, medium size, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • black pepper
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, any type of mushroom works, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, grated or minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth, or bone broth for an extra boost of protein
  • 1 tsp tamari
  • 1 tsp thyme, I use dried
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, plus a little extra for drizzling the top!
  • parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat oil and butter in a dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.
  • Add shallot, salt, and pepper. Sauté until soft, about 2 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms shrink down, release their water, and start to brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. (Set aside a few mushrooms for topping the soup later, if desired.)
  • Add chicken broth, tamari, and thyme. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in cream.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup smooth, or allow to cool slightly and transfer soup to a blender to blend smooth. Be very careful when blending hot liquids! Only fill the blender halfway, vent the top of the blender and cover with a clean dish towel to vent some steam.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with reserved mushrooms, fresh herbs and a little drizzle of cream.
