Preparation Method

1.  Prep the Mushrooms
   Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp towel and slice them thinly. Set aside.
2.  Sauté the Base
   Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent (about 3–4 minutes). Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
3.  Cook the Mushrooms
   Add sliced mushrooms and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown (about 8–10 minutes).
4.  Add Broth & Simmer
   Pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes to let flavors combine.
5.  Blend the Soup (Optional for creamy texture)
   Use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup to your preferred texture. You can also transfer half to a blender and return to the pot.
6.  Add the Cream & Cheese
   Stir in heavy cream and cream cheese. Let it simmer gently for 5–7 minutes until fully creamy and heated through. Do not boil.
7.  Taste & Finish
   Adjust salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley or chives before serving.
