Instructions
- 1 Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook without stirring for 4 minutes to get a good sear. Stir and continue cooking until deeply browned and liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes total.
- 2 Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, and nutmeg — cook 1 minute.
- 3 Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stir for 1 minute to cook off the raw taste.
- 4 Gradually whisk in vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook 10 minutes.
- 5 Blend half the soup until smooth, then return to the pot (or use an immersion blender briefly for a chunky-smooth texture). Stir in cream, season with salt and pepper. Heat through without boiling.
