Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 12 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and 5 whole garlic cloves with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes until mushrooms are golden and garlic is soft.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium diced yellow onion and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, sauté for 5-6 minutes until onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add the roasted mushrooms and garlic (squeezing garlic out of skins) to the pot along with 4 cups vegetable broth and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy, or carefully transfer to a blender in batches.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Warm through over low heat for 3 minutes without boiling.
  6. Step 6: Serve hot with an optional drizzle of cream or fresh thyme sprig.
