STEP BY STEP
Let’s make it.
- Warm oil in a large pot. Cook mushrooms and onion for 10–12 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown.
- Add garlic, thyme and walnuts and stir for 1 minute. Pour in measured water, add salt and pepper, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Take off the heat and blend with an immersion blender until creamy, leaving a few small mushroom pieces if preferred.
- Stir in sour cream without boiling. Divide into 4 servings and sprinkle with parsley.
Kitchen notes
- Refrigerate leftovers promptly in shallow containers. Reheat to 165°F (74°C), stirring so the whole portion is hot.
