Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Cover with foil. Bake mushrooms 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until mushrooms are tender and still moist, about 15 minutes longer. Cool slightly. Puree half of mushrooms with 1 1/2 cups broth in blender until smooth. Set mushroom puree aside. Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium high heat. Add shallots and garlic and saute until shallots are tender, about 8 minutes. Add Madeira and simmer until almost all liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add flour; stir 2 minutes. add 2 1/2 cups broth, cream, and thyme. Stir in remaining cooked mushroom pieces and mushroom puree. Simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
