Wild mushroom soup

Wild mushroom soup is a rich and hearty dish perfect for chilly days or when you’re craving something comforting and flavorful. This recipe combines earthy mushrooms with fresh leeks, thyme, and creamy chicken gravy for a robust and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 leek
180g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
3 cups chicken gravy
600g
2 tbsp soy sauce
30g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Aromatics:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced leeks to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the leeks become soft and fragrant.
2. Add the Mushrooms and Thyme:
- Stir in the sliced wild mushrooms and the chopped thyme. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
3. Create the Soup Base:
- Pour in the chicken gravy and stir well to combine with the vegetables and mushrooms.
- Add the soy sauce to the pot and mix thoroughly.
4. Simmer the Soup:
- Bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
5. Finish with Cream:
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Allow the soup to warm through for another 5 minutes, ensuring it does not boil once the cream has been added.
6. Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Ladle the wild mushroom soup into bowls.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme or a few whole sautéed mushrooms if you like.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve the soup hot with some crusty bread on the side for a hearty meal.

Tips:

- Use a variety of wild mushrooms for a more complex flavor profile.

- Thoroughly clean the mushrooms to remove all dirt and grit.

- Sauté the mushrooms until they release their liquid and develop a golden brown color for the best flavor.

- If you prefer a smoother soup, blend it until it's creamy using an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender.

- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste before serving.

- Serve with crusty bread or a fresh salad to complete your meal.
