Recipe:
Ingredients
4 tablespoons (60g) Butter, unsalted
1 large Onion chopped
2 cloves Garlic crushed
2 tablespoons (15g) Flour
1½ pounds (675g) Mushrooms, any kind (read notes)
4-6 cups (1.5L) Vegetable stock
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
2 teaspoons Thyme fresh
½ cup (120ml) Cream

Instructions
1. Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the mushrooms and finely chop the onion. Crush the garlic and set aside.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly golden.
3. Build the Base: Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook for another 4–5 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to remove any raw flour taste.
4. Simmer the Soup: Pour in the vegetable stock. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
5. Blend and Finish: Remove from heat and blend the soup until completely smooth. Return to low heat, stir in the cream, and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
