Ingredients
 

  • 16 oz. mixed fresh mushrooms (some diced finely and others left in larger pieces)
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (dissolved in 2 Tablespoons water)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Dash nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add butter and allow to melt. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about one minute.
  • Add in chopped mushrooms, thyme, bay leaf, and Worcestershire. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the moisture from the mushrooms is gone.
  • Add chicken broth and turn heat up to medium high. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in diluted cornstarch. Keep the mixture at a steady simmer, stirring constantly, while mixture thickens.
  • Stir in milk and heavy cream and bring back to a simmer. Taste then season with salt, pepper, and a bit of nutmeg. If the mixture is too thin (mine was at this point), dilute another tablespoon of cornstarch in a bit of water and stir it in, again allowing the mixture to thicken as it simmers.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately. Like most cream soups, this will develop a skin as it cools, so it's best to get it to your bowls and your bellies as soon as possible!

Notes

  • Always dissolve your cornstarch in cool water first, until smooth. Then it will easily incorporate into your hot dish.
