Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  5. Gradually add vegetable broth while stirring, then bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.

  • Substitute cream with milk or plant-based alternatives for a lighter version.
  • Add soy sauce or smoked paprika for enhanced umami flavor.
  • Freeze before adding cream for best results.
