Slice 8-10 button mushrooms fairly thin on a chopping board.

In a soup pot over medium-high heat, melt 3-4 tablespoons of unsalted butter for a couple of minutes.

Add a small chopped white onion and 3 cloves of chopped garlic to the pot.

Stir and sauté until the mushrooms begin to sweat and darken, and the aroma of garlic fills the air.

After a few minutes, add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir until combined and begins to cook, about 3-4 minutes.

Pour in 1.5 cups of chicken stock and 1.5 cups of table cream (18% fat).

Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1-2 teaspoons of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.

Stir everything until combined and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes.

Ladle the soup into a bowl and garnish with fresh parsley flakes and some mushrooms on top.
