Homestyle Mushroom Soup

Step 1

Prosciutto Crisps: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add 2 slices of prosciutto at a time, cooking about 3 minutes or until edges are golden and crisp. Turn over and cook until golden brown. Remove to plate and repeat with remaining prosciutto slices.

Step 2

Mushroom Soup: In a soup pot, heat butter over medium-high heat and cook mushrooms, onion, garlic and thyme, stirring often for about 20 minutes or until golden and liquid evaporates. Add broth, cream and salt; bring to a boil and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Using an immersion blender, blend soup until smooth.

Step 3

Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with prosciutto crisp and fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
