Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb. (~2 baskets) mushrooms
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 4 tablespoon (50 grams) butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper by your taste

Instructions
 

  • Roughly chop the mushrooms.
  • In a soup pot, combine the olive oil, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Sauté the onion on high heat until it starts to change color, then add the mushrooms.
  • Continue cooking until the mushrooms have released all their moisture and the liquid has evaporated from the bottom of the pot. The mushrooms will turn dark brown.
  • To make a thick paste, add the butter and flour in the pot then stir and cook for one to two minutes. This will coat the mushrooms and the bottom of the pot.
  • Then, add boiling water and dried thyme, and stir to dissolve all the flour from the pot's bottom. Let the liquid simmer.
  • Add the cream and soy sauce into the mushroom base.
  • Cook for another 10 minutes and then taste it.
  • If required, add a pinch of salt and serve hot.
  • Enjoy!
