Add in the onion and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until softened.
1 yellow onion, 3 cloves garlic
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir until combined with no white bits of flour remaining.
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
Add in the broth, a little at a time, stirring to remove any lumps. Add in the thyme and pepper to taste.
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, Freshly ground black pepper
Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
Stir in the creme fraiche. Ladle into bowls, top with optional garnishes. Enjoy!
