Somehow this version of the classic soup manages to be more satisfying, even though the mouthfeel is thinner because there’s no high-carb thickener. It feels more like a soup and less like a gravy!

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and celery and cook, stirring, until the celery is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for about 15 minutes.

Stir in the cream, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Notes

Two to 4 tablespoons chopped onion can be cooked with the celery and mushrooms.
