CHEF JOHN'S CREAMY MUSHROOM SOUP
This is one of my favorite soups of all time. It is so easy. The secret to this deep, rich soup is a long slow caramelization, the key to unlocking the mushroom's magic. This is just pure essence of mushroom.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms in butter with 1 pinch salt until the mushrooms give off their juices; reduce heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring often, until juices evaporate and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Set aside a few attractive mushroom slices for garnish later, if desired. Mix onion into mushrooms and cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 more minutes.
- Stir flour into mushroom mixture and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Tie thyme sprigs into a small bundle with kitchen twine and add to mushroom mixture; add garlic cloves. Pour chicken stock and water into mushroom mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Remove thyme bundle.
- Transfer soup to a blender in small batches and puree on high speed until smooth and thick.
- Return soup to pot and stir in cream. Season with salt and black pepper and serve in bowls, garnished with reserved mushroom slices and a few thyme leaves.

Tips:
- Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms. Just be sure to soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
- Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. Sautéing the mushrooms will help to bring out their flavor and give them a nice golden brown color.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth. If you're using a canned broth, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
- Add some cream or milk. Adding cream or milk will help to make your soup creamy and rich. You can use heavy cream, half-and-half, or even evaporated milk. If you're using heavy cream, be sure to add it at the end of the cooking process so that it doesn't curdle.
- Season your soup to taste. Season your soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
