Carefully clean the parasol mushrooms using a soft brush or damp cloth to remove any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water, as they can become soggy. Slice the mushrooms into 1/2 inch thick pieces. If using larger parasol mushrooms, slice them into smaller pieces for easier cooking.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the carrot and celery. Ensure all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking. 'Dicing' means cutting into small cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the onion, stir regularly. 'Sauté' means cooking in a small amount of fat over relatively high heat.

Add the sliced parasol mushrooms to the pot. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown. You should notice the mushrooms shrinking slightly.
Pour in the vegetable broth, add thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and cook for 20 minutes. 'Simmering' means maintaining a temperature just below boiling.
Remove the pot from heat, and using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is smooth and creamy. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender. Be very careful when blending hot liquids as they can splatter. You can also use a potato masher for a rustic texture.
Stir in the heavy cream and gently heat through for 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. The soup should be served hot to enjoy the creamy texture and mushroom flavor.
