Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add broth, mix again and bring to a boil.

Once bubbling, reduce heat to low-medium, season with salt & pepper, and close the pot with a lid. Let it boil for 5 minutes.

Open the lid and stir in the cream. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes, and adjust salt and pepper to your taste.

Using a hand blender or a food processor, puree the soup until smooth, or leave some chunky mushroom parts if desired.

Garnish the mushroom soup with browned mushrooms and fresh herbs.
