Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp bouillon powder
- 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Chop the onions and mince the garlic. Slice the mushrooms if they are whole.
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Cook the mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot, cooking until they are soft and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes to combine the flavors.
- Blend creaminess in: Lower the heat, then add in the heavy whipping cream and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese has melted completely and the soup is smooth.
- Season to taste: Add the black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, bouillon powder, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
