This is an easy recipe for a really good mushroom soup. It's delish!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • a box of crimini mushrooms (if you're feeling fancy you can go for wild mushrooms)
  • 1/2 a red onion
  • a clove of garlic
  • fresh thyme
  • white truffle oil (it's a bit pricy, but you don't have to put a lot and it will give an amazing taste to so many things you cook)
  • olive oil
  • 4 to 5 cups of chicken stock
  1. Step 1

    Pour some olive oil in a pan with the mushrooms. Let cook for 10mn. Stir a few times.

  2. Step 2

    Add the chopped red onion, mashed garlic and thyme. Continue to cook on medium/low heat until most of the mushroom juices have evaporated (usually 20-30mn).

  3. Step 3

    Add the chicken stock and leave to simmer 10mn. Add salt and pepper as desired.

  4. Step 4

    Blend all the ingredients in your blender.

  5. Step 5

    Serve in individual bowls and add just a little truffle oil in the middle of each soup before serving. It will give an amazing flavor.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can prepare this soup in advance and let it stand. Just reheat it before serving.
  • Always add the truffle oil right before serving. It's better to add the truffle oil in individual portions of soup versus in a big bowl.
