Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced leeks to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the leeks become soft and fragrant.

- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Allow the soup to warm through for another 5 minutes, ensuring it does not boil once the cream has been added.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Ladle the wild mushroom soup into bowls.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme or a few whole sautéed mushrooms if you like.

Tips:
- Use a variety of wild mushrooms for a more complex flavor profile.
- Thoroughly clean the mushrooms to remove all dirt and grit.
- Sauté the mushrooms until they release their liquid and develop a golden brown color for the best flavor.
