Right then! So this is a YUMMY soup that i kinda threw together without any recipe really, but i'll try to give you an ingredients list and some basic directions here..
1lb button or stuffer mushro0ms.
A package of oyster mushro0ms.
1- 1/2 cups whip cream.
1/2 an onion (or more if u like)
handful of thyme
Splash of olive oil1 cup of stock ( i used veggie stock)
A pinch or more of, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic
Step 1 - Get a deep frying pan or wok on the element on medium and splash some olive oil in there. Chop up the onions and stick em in. You want these to caramelize so don't burn them! The onions should turn clear and then a nice caramel color.. this will make the soup kinda sweetish.
Step 2 - While those onions are getting where they need to, get a damp cloth and wipe all that crap off your mushro0ms.. then slice them up.. some people discard the rubbery stalks of the oyster mushro0ms but because this is a soup everything gets blended so keep them in! Step 3- When the onions are carmelized, add the mushro0ms and the thyme (take the thyme leaves OFF the stalks before) and add whatever spices u like, such as oregano, salt, pepper and some garlic.. (you can put FRESH garlic in but i didnt have any at the time! Boo0o) Saute those all up until the mushro0ms get nice and co0ked and start to shrink a little (about 5 - 8 mins)
Step 4- Add the cup of stock and bring to a boil. Then add the cream.. now this part is really up to you, how creamy or thick do you want your soup? I added about a cup, cup and a half.. Bring to a boil.. lower heat and let simmer for 5-10 mins.
Step 5- Now blend! You can use a handheld blender or a regular one.. CAUTION. if your using a regular blender, please blend the soup in portions.. DO NOT stick the whole thing in and press go, its VERY hot and will splash EVERYWHERE. Do it in thirds. There you have it! Garnish with some shaved parm and a sprig of thyme and enjoy with a dinner roll !
