Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 250 grams cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 150 grams oyster mushrooms, torn into bite-size pieces
- 150 grams shucked oysters with their liquor
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- salt (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- crusty bread (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Stir in the cremini mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the shucked oysters along with their liquor to the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce, and season with black pepper and salt to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, but do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve with crusty bread on the side.
