Cream of Mushroom Soup
Yields1 Serving
a drizzle of olive oil
1/4 cup butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1-2 garlic cloves, crushed
2-3 cups sliced mushrooms—any kind
a few sprigs of fresh thyme
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
a splash of sherry or white wine (optional)
3-4 cups (or a 1L container) chicken or vegetable stock
salt and pepper
1/2-1 cup cream (heavy or half and half)
1

Heat a drizzle of oil and about half the butter in a pot set over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook it for a few minutes, until it's soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, then the mushrooms, the rest of the butter, and pull the leaves off thyme off their stems and add them. If you like, add some chopped ham, too.

2

Cook until the mushrooms get soft, then the moisture cooks off and they start to turn golden. Shake the flour overtop and stir to coat the mushrooms with flour. If you like, add a splash of sherry or white wine, and let it cook off.

3

Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes, until smooth and thickened, then season with salt and pepper and stir in the cream. Serve over buttered crackers. Serves 4.
