Creamy Mushroom Soup is a rich and comforting soup made with a creamy base and earthy mushrooms. The soup starts by sautéing mushrooms and onions in butter until they are soft and caramelized. Then, garlic and thyme are added for flavor and the mixture is cooked until fragrant. A roux is then made with butter and flour to thicken the soup, followed by the addition of chicken or vegetable stock, heavy cream, and a dash of nutmeg.

The soup is then simmered until it reaches a velvety consistency. It can be served hot with some crusty bread on the side for a satisfying meal or as a starter for a larger dinner party.
