Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 6\u20138 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are nicely browned and tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the aromatics:<\/strong> Add the chopped onion and cook for 3\u20134 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme and cook for another 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thicken the soup:<\/strong> Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir continuously for about 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the broth:<\/strong> Gradually pour in the broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simmer:<\/strong> Cook for about <strong>15 minutes<\/strong>, allowing the mushrooms and flavors to develop.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blend:<\/strong> For a smooth soup, carefully blend with an immersion blender until creamy. For more texture, blend only half of the soup and leave some mushroom pieces whole.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the cream:<\/strong> Stir in the heavy cream and simmer gently for another <strong>3\u20135 minutes<\/strong>. Do not let the soup boil vigorously.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season and serve:<\/strong> Add salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and a few saut\u00e9ed mushroom slices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> For extra mushroom flavor, reserve a handful of the saut\u00e9ed mushrooms and use them as a topping just before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creamy Mushroom Soup A rich, velvety mushroom soup made with a delicious blend of mushrooms, aromatic onion and garlic, and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7641"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7641\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7643,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7641\/revisions\/7643"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
