Description

Jamie Oliver’s Mushroom Soup is a quick and easy recipe that brings rich, earthy flavors to the table in just 15 minutes. This creamy and comforting dish is perfect for a light meal or as an appetizer to a larger spread.


Ingredients

Scale

    • 500g (1 lb) fresh mushrooms (e.g., chestnut, button, or a mix), sliced

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 500ml (2 cups) vegetable stock

    • 200ml (3/4 cup) milk or cream

    • Salt and black pepper to taste

    • Fresh parsley or thyme (optional, for garnish)

    • Crusty bread or croutons (optional, for serving)


Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

    • Clean and slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic, and finely chop the onion.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

    • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

    • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 3: Add the Stock and Simmer

    • Pour in the vegetable stock and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4: Blend the Soup

    • Use a stick blender to puree the soup until smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup and leave some mushroom pieces intact.

Step 5: Add Milk or Cream

    • Stir in the milk or cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat gently without boiling for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6: Serve

    • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired. Serve with crusty bread or croutons for dipping.
