• 200g Swiss Brown/Cremini mushrooms
• 750ml vegetable stock (or chicken stock)

How To Make Mushroom Soup Recipe?

1. Chop the Mushrooms: Slice the mushrooms into four pieces and dice each slice into 3 or 4 pieces.
2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes until softened.
3. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the white and Swiss Brown mushrooms. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, without browning them.
4. Simmer the Soup: Add vegetable (or chicken) stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered.
5. Add the Cream: Stir in the crème fraîche or cream and simmer for another 5 minutes.
6. Blend the Soup: Blend the soup in batches until smooth. Leave the blender cap off and cover the hole with a tea towel.
7. Heat Through: Pour the blended soup back into the pot and simmer for a couple more minutes until hot.
8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with olive oil or cream, croutons, and parsley. Serve with bread for dunking.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms give the soup better flavor and texture. Avoid dried mushrooms as they can change the taste.
• Blend in Batches: Blend the soup in small batches to avoid splattering and get a smooth texture.
• Adjust the Cream: Use more or less cream depending on how rich you want the soup. Crème fraîche or low-fat cream makes it lighter.
• Season to Taste: Always taste the soup before serving and add extra salt or pepper if needed to bring out the flavors.
• Use Homemade Stock: Homemade vegetable or chicken stock adds extra flavor. If using store-bought, pick one with low sodium for better control.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the soup cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: After the soup cools, place it in a freezer-safe container. It will keep for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat the soup in a pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot.
