Ingredients for Mushroom Soup
To make this recipe you will need:- olive oil
- butter
- onion
- garlic
- fresh thyme

How to Make Homemade Mushroom Soup
Making this mushroom soup recipe is SO easy!- Start with olive oil and butter. Using both these fats creates tons of flavour and the olive oil insulates the butter, preventing it from over-browning or burning.
- Soften the onion, garlic and thyme until fragrant and soft.
- Wash and DRY your mushrooms, because adding wet mushrooms to your pan will create too much liquid and prevent them from caramelizing.
- Soften and caramelize the mushrooms, sliced nice and thin.
- Deglaze the pan with some white wine and scrape up all the golden brown bits off the bottom of the pot.
- Add the cream last. Remove the pot from the heat before adding the heavy cream or the soup will curdle.

Will it be ok to omit the wine? Would love to make this but don’t have wine.
Yes, you can totally leave out the wine but don’t skip the deglazing step. You can use 1/4 cup of stock instead the wine and scrape the bottom of the pot well. Let us know how it turns out!
