Clean and chop mushrooms about 1 cm in size.
In a pan, heat oil on medium heat. Add onion, garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Add the mushrooms and cook for 15 minutes, until they become ⅓ of their original size.
Mix in the flour, milk, and broth. Bring to a simmer while stirring every 5 minutes for 20 minutes.
Once thickened, add the thyme and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Garnish the soup with chives and serve with a slice of whole grain bread.
