Creamy Mushroom Soup

Langkah-langkah

1. Prepare the croutons. Set aside.
2. Heat the butter and oil in a soup pot over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and shallots; sauté for 10 minutes until soft, fragrant, and delicious. Add the garlic; sauté for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add the flour; stir to coat everything. It will be very thick and dry (see notes). Add the wine slowly, letting the mixture loosen up. Add the broth slowly, stirring to form a smooth-ish soup.
4. Add the cream and the salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Don’t boil it, but if you can give it a little bit of time to just hang out over very low heat (or even off heat), that is ideal – the flavors get better with just a little time to sit. Then again, if you cannot wait (I often can’t), it’s also SO delicious right here, right now, right out of the pot.
5. Serve with croutons on top.
