Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried or fresh
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their moisture and become tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a blender for a creamy texture.
- Stir in Cream and Cheese: Return the soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream and crumbled blue cheese. Heat gently until the cheese is melted and the soup is warmed through.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Enjoy hot.
