Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter along with the olive oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes until the butter is completely melted.
  2. Add the diced onion to the pot, stirring regularly for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
  3. Introduce the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  4. Toss in the sliced mushrooms, stirring frequently for about 8-10 minutes until they release their juices and begin to brown slightly.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring well for about 2 minutes to cook the flour.
  6. Slowly pour in the broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps, and increase the heat slightly until the mixture simmers.
  7. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and stir in the milk, cooking for another 5 minutes until desired thickness is reached.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste and adjust as necessary.
