- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 large portabella mushrooms, dark gills scraped out, mushrooms chopped

- 1½ teaspoons dried thyme leaves
- 1 bay leaf

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions:
- Saute the leeks and onions in butter in a large pot over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender; about 2-3 minutes.
- Lower heat, add the mushrooms, and cook about 10 minutes longer, covered, stirring occasionally.
- Raise heat to medium, stir in the flour, and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the thyme, bay leaf, broth, salt, sugar, and pepper.
- Simmer, partially covered, for about 10 minutes.
- Cool the soup slightly; discard the bay leaf; then puree the soup in batches in a blender or food processor.
- Return the pureed soup to the pan and add the cream.
- Cook over low heat until just heated through, but do not boil.
