Ingredients

1 pound fresh mushrooms, chopped (such as cremini and shiitake)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon truffle oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent.
Cook Mushrooms: Add the chopped mushrooms to the pot and cook until they are browned and their moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Broth: Pour in the broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half.
Finish with Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, heating gently until warmed through.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley. Enjoy with crusty bread on the side.
