Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic, stirring until softened and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
  2. Toss in your mushrooms and cook until browned and moisture is released (approximately 6-7 minutes).
  3. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat, cooking for another minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly whisk in the broth followed by the milk, ensuring no lumps. Bring to a simmer and allow the soup to thicken.
  5. Add salt, pepper, and herbs to taste; let it simmer on low for an additional 5 minutes while stirring.
  6. For a smoother texture, blend the soup with an immersion blender or in batches until desired consistency is achieved.
  7. Ladle into bowls, garnish as desired, and enjoy!

Notes

If using dried mushrooms, remember to rehydrate them. This soup freezes beautifully, but for optimal texture, consume it within a month.
