4. Add sautéed onion, carrot, 3/4 of all mushrooms, 1 tsp of thyme, 1 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and cook until potatoes are tender, about 5 more minutes.
5. Add 1 cup of half and half, bring soup to a boil, add 3 cloves of garlic pushed through a garlic press and remove soup from the heat.
6. Using an immersion or stand blender, puree the soup.
7. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with the remaining mushrooms and serve with a crusty baguette.

If you don't have Half & Half, you can use 1/2 cup of milk plus 1/2 cup of cream.
