Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat a large heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter.
  • When the butter has melted, add the diced onion, garlic and thyme.
  • Saute just until the onion softens and turns transluscent.
  • Add the mushrooms and stir well, letting the mushrooms soften and release their juices but cooking them only until they still keep their shape (about 5-10 minutes).
  • Add the salt and pepper, stirring well.
  • Add the white wine and scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pot while the wine cooks off.
  • Add the stock, stir well, and cover the pot, turning the heat to medium low. Let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and turn off the heat under the pot.
  • Whisk together the heavy cream and the flour until the flour is incorporated with no lumps.
  • Slowly add the cream to the hot soup (NOT while it is boiling or simmering) and stir well.
  • Let the soup sit, covered, for about 4-5 minutes before serving.

Reheating Instructions
