Notes
- Make sure to saute the onions and mushrooms on a for at least 10-15 minutes so they soften properly and give a delicious depth of flavour to the soup.
- You don't need to add cream but it does give the soup a delicious rich flavour.
- Add more or less cream to your liking.
- I like a smooth consistency but you can choose to blitz the soup to a rougher texture if you prefer.
- Fresh parsley goes so well with mushrooms but you could also use fresh thyme.
- This soup will store well in the fridge or freezer.
- You can use any kind of mushrooms.
