Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for an additional minute, allowing the garlic to release its aroma. Avoid burning.
Incorporate 8 cups of sliced mushrooms, stirring to combine. Cook for 8-10 minutes until browned and juices are released.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring constantly to coat. Cook for about 2 minutes.
Gradually pour in 4 cups of broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Increase heat to bring to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, reduce heat to low and add 1 cup of milk, stirring until well mixed. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!
