Let’s break it down! Start by sautéing some onions and garlic – trust me, don’t skip toasting the garlic; that aroma alone is worth it! Then toss in your mushrooms and let them get all tender. After that, pour in your broth, sprinkle in the thyme, and let it simmer. A quick blend makes it creamy, and then the heavy cream takes it to the next level! It’s as easy as pie, but way less messy!

Tips to Make Creamy Keto Mushroom Soup

Here are some little tidbits to elevate your soup game:

  1. Fresh Thyme vs. Dried: Fresh thyme rocks, but if all you have are dried herbs, use them! Just remember, dried herbs are more potent, so adjust accordingly.
  2. Mushroom Variety: Use a mix of mushrooms like shiitake or cremini for a flavor boost.
  3. Throw in Spinach: Sneak in some fresh spinach for an extra green boost and nutrition without losing that creamy texture.

Your soup just went from good to gourmet, folks!
