Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 30 minutesServes: 4
Ingredients
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, and oyster), sliced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 bay leaf

5. Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth and creamy.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper, and heat through.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
