In a small saucepan, saute the mushrooms, onions and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the broth, parsley, thyme and pepper.
Heat the butter in a large saucepan. Add the shallots and cook until they are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
Cream of mushroom soup is delicious on its own or as the base of a casserole. You can make your own instead of buying those little cans of condensed soup.
