   For the soup, heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large pan and saute the onion for 5-6 mins until softened. Add the chopped mushrooms and saute gently until tender. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle with the flour. Cook for 1 min. Gradually stir in the stock and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 mins.

Ladle into warmed bowls, swirl in the rest of the cream and top with the sliced mushrooms. Garnish with the rest of the chopped thyme and the parsley sprigs.
