Mushroom Soup

Mushroom soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for any time of the year. This soup is typically made with a variety of mushrooms, such as button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, or cremini mushrooms, that are sautéed with onions and garlic before being simmered in a rich broth. Cream or milk is often added to give the soup a creamy and velvety texture, while herbs and spices like thyme, parsley, and black pepper add depth of flavor. Mushroom soup is a versatile dish that can be served as a starter or a main course and pairs well with a variety of bread and crackers. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and is a perfect option for vegetarians and vegans.

Ingredients
  

  • 90g butter
  • 2 medium onions, roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 500g mushrooms, finely chopped (chestnut or button mushrooms work well)
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 11 hot chicken stock
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 tbsp single cream
  • small handful of flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, to serve (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until they are soft but not browned.
  • Add the mushrooms to the saucepan and cook over high heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Pour in the chicken stock, bring the mixture to a boil, and then add the bay leaf. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove and discard the bay leaf from the soup. Use a hand blender to blend the soup until it is smooth. Gently reheat the soup over low heat and stir in the cream until it is well combined. If you prefer, you can freeze the soup at this stage and add the cream when reheating. If desired, sprinkle parsley over the top of the soup before serving. Enjoy!
