Mushroom Soup Recipe 

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup of button mushrooms 

• 1 cup of chestnut mushrooms 

• 4 cloves of garlic 

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil 

• 1 onion, chopped 

• Double cream 

• 2 bay leaves 

• Salt and pepper to taste 

• Chopped parsley for garnish (optional) 

Instructions: 

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until the onion becomes translucent. Add the garlic but don’t let it burn. 

2. Add the button and chestnut mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender, about 5-6 minutes. 

3. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes. 

4. Using a blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only a portion of the soup. 

5. Stir in the heavy cream and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through. 

6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
