Soupe de champignons

Soupe de champignons is a rich and creamy mushroom soup that highlights the earthy flavors of fresh mushrooms, enhanced with aromatic herbs. This comforting dish is perfect for a cozy dinner or as a starter for a special meal.

Ingredients

• Fresh mushrooms (mixed varieties) - 300 grams
• Vegetable broth - 500 ml
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Thyme - 1 teaspoon, dried or 1 sprig fresh
• Bay leaf - 1
• Heavy cream - 100 ml
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly.
2. In a pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they are softened and browned.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the thyme and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Remove the bay leaf and blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
6. Stir in the heavy cream, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat gently for another 2-3 minutes.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
