25g butter
250g closed cup mushrooms, sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
200ml white wine
400ml vegetable stock
100ml double cream
– Melt the butter in a medium sized pan. Add a small splash of olive oil to stop it catching.
– Add the mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until soft and browned.
– Add the white wine and vegetable stock.
– Blend with a stick blender until your desired level of smooth. (I like bits in my soup but if you want a totally smooth soup you’ll need to decant into a liquidiser and blend in that then resume cooking.)
– Bring the soup to a boil then turn down to a simmer.
– Add the cream and heat gently until the edges are bubbling.
– Serve hot with bread and butter.
