Elevate mushroom soup with cream and nutmeg for a gourmet touch.
Ingredients:
  • 75g butter
  • 2 brown onions, halved, coarsely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 40.00 ml coarsely chopped fresh thyme
  • 1kg portobello mushrooms, coarsely chopped
  • 1.5L (6 cups) vegetable liquid stock
  • 250ml (1 cup) thickened cream
  • Thickened cream, extra, to serve
  • Ground nutmeg, to dust
  • Crusty wholemeal bread rolls, to serve
Instructions:
  • Melt half of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Sauté onion, garlic, and thyme for 10 minutes until onion is soft. Stir in the remaining butter and mushrooms, cook for 5 more minutes until mushrooms are soft.
  • Pour in the stock to the mushroom mix and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes before proceeding.
  • Blend one-third of the mushroom mixture in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Repeat with the remaining mixture in 2 more batches.
  • In a saucepan, gently mix the soup and cream together over low heat. Stir continuously for 5 minutes or until warmed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide the soup into bowls. Add a creamy drizzle and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Serve with optional bread rolls.
