Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Ready in: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.

7. Use an immersion blender or a countertop blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids to prevent splattering.
8. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Heat the soup gently over low heat, but do not let it boil.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes to heat it through and allow the flavors to blend.
11. Ladle the Cream of Mushroom Soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
