- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray, olive oil or butter.

Add remaining broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring occasionally until each portion of broth mixture is absorbed before adding the next (about 25 minutes total).
- Add mushrooms, cheeses, thyme, salt, and pepper; stir gently just until the cheese melts.
