Steps

Set the Instant Pot to sauté, melt the butter, and cook the onion, garlic, and sliced mushrooms for 8 minutes.
Stir in the flour, soy sauce, fish sauce, thyme, and pepper, and cook for 1 minute.
Add the shiitake stock, chicken stock, and bay leaves, then seal the pot and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then remove the bay leaves.
Blend the soup until smooth or partly chunky, as desired.
Stir in the cream, set the pot to sauté, and simmer for 5 minutes without boiling.
