How to Make Mushroom Bisque

  3. Add onion, garlic, thyme, and parsley; cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Increase heat to medium and stir in flour; cook for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
  6. Blend the soup in batches until smooth using a high-speed blender.
  7. Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in heavy cream, and simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper, then serve warm.
