Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown and juices have been released.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour (or cornstarch) and cook for about a minute, stirring to coat the mushrooms.
  5. Gradually whisk in the broth, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring to a simmer.
  6. Allow it to thicken, then stir in fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper.
  7. If the soup is too thick, add more broth to reach desired consistency.
  8. For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender for a few pulses, or leave it chunky.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
