Ingredients.
• ⅓ cup (75g/2 ½ oz) butter
• 2 medium onions, (roughly chopped)
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 5 cups (500g/17 ½ oz) mushrooms (chestnut or button mushrooms, finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp plain flour
• 4 cups (1L/34 oz) hot chicken/vegetable stock
• ½ tsp dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 5 tbsp (75ml/2 ½ oz) single cream (or heavy cream)

Method
1. Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the onions, and garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes.
3. Add the mushrooms and cook over high heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
4. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the mushrooms evenly.
5. Gradually pour in the stock while stirring. Add the bay leaf and dried thyme.
6. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes.
