How to Make Joe’s Homemade Mushroom Soup
Ingredients:
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 lb (450g) assorted mushrooms, sliced
– 4 cups vegetable broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 tsp thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions:
1. Warm olive oil in a large pot on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until they become translucent.
2. Incorporate the sliced mushrooms and let them cook until they’re tender and have released their moisture. This should take around 8 minutes.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to boil. Turn down the heat, allowing it to simmer for 10 minutes.

5. Bring the blended soup back to the pot, stir in the heavy cream and thyme. Adjust the taste with salt and peeper.
6. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes until it’s warm and creamy.
