(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Soup

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 3 (8-oz.) packages sliced fresh cremini mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups mushroom stock
  • 32 oz. chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 cup half and half
  • Garnish: fresh thyme

Directions

  1. In a medium Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are soft and have released their liquid, 10-12 minutes.

  2. Stir flour into mushroom mixture until well coated; cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually stir in stock until smooth, scraping browned bits from bottom of pot with a wooden spoon. Stir in broth, Worcestershire, and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.

  3. Remove from heat; stir in half-and-half until combined. Serve immediately. Garnish with thyme.
