Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped leeks and minced garlic, sauté until leeks are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they begin to soften and release their juices, about 8 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, add chopped thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 12-15 minutes. Optionally, blend a portion of the soup to make it thicker and creamier.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream if using. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
