Ingredients
- 1 kg (2lbs) mushrooms sliced (Chestnut/Cremini/Button/Brown, etc)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 leeks finely chopped
- 2 tsp fresh thyme
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 8 cups stock
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream (evaporated milk can be substituted)
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- Salt & Black Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Allow to cook until the mushrooms are well browned.
- Add the leeks and cook until soft. Add the garlic and mushrooms and allow to cook until fragrant.
- Add enough stock to just cover the mushrooms and allow to simmer for 7-10 minutes.
- Transfer half of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer the soup to be smooth, blend all the soup until smooth. (This can be done with an immersion blender.)
- Return to the heat and add the cream. Allow to simmer gently for 5 minutes and add the lemon juice and seasoning.
- Serve hot with a swirl of cream and crusty bread.
