How to Make Mushroom Leek Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large soup pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cups sliced leeks and 2 cloves minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms and 4 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms. Continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
  4. Pour in 6 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a richer flavor), 1/2 cup dry white wine, and 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  7. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth. (If blending in batches, be careful of steam.)
  8. Return soup to the pot and stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess). Heat through, but do not boil.
