Step 1
Slice the mushrooms into even, thin pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Step 3
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and fresh thyme.
Step 4
Sauté the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and begin to brown.
Step 5
Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Step 6
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
Step 7
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
Step 8
Simmer for 2-3 minutes more until heated through. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot.
