Add thinly chopped onion. Stir, saute for a few minutes.
Add soaked dried mushrooms with a little bit of brew (from the mushrooms) and let it all cook with the onion for a few minutes.

Add 1 cup of vegetable stock. Stir and cook until the liquid evaporates. (low heat)

Sprinkle with some nutritional yeast on top. Serve topped if fresh thyme.
