Print Recipe

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp flour (I use cassava flour to keep it gluten free)
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 qt vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • baguette for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large stock pot, add the butter and flour. As the butter melts, whisk the flour to create a paste, about 1-2 minutes
  2. Add the onion and garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and whisk for 1-2 minutes or the onion begins to turn translucent
  3. Add in the Vermouth and cook for a minute, scraping up the flour in the bottom of the pot
  4. Add the cooked mushrooms and stock, cover and simmer for 20 minutes
  5. Add in the heavy cream and turn off the heat
  6. Allow to cool slightly before pureeing in a blender
  7. Serve with baguette or crusty, toasted bread
