Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 small yellow or white onion minced
  • 8 oz white button mushrooms chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • pinch of ground thyme

Instructions

SAUTE ONIONS

  • Add butter and oil to a saucepan and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Once hot, add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

SAUTE MUSHROOMS

  • Add garlic and mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

THICKEN

  • Add flour and stir to coat. Cook, stirring very often, for 1 minute.
  • Stir in vegetable broth and half and half, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes, or until soup has thickened to your liking. Remember, we want the soup to be nice and thick, like the canned version.

SEASON AND STORE

  • Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
  • Transfer soup to an airtight container (I like to use a glass jar) and place in the refrigerator. Soup should be used within 1 week.

Notes

Recipe makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of condensed soup, which is a little more than a standard 10.75 oz can of condensed soup.
Recipe can be used interchangeably with a can of condensed soup.
