Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams oyster mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 finely minced garlic cloves
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 1 diced celery stalk
- 1 medium, peeled and diced potato
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Clean the oyster mushrooms by wiping off any dirt with a damp paper towel. Roughly chop the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring to prevent burning.
Stir in the diced carrot, celery, and potato. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to soften the vegetables slightly.
Add the chopped oyster mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Pour in the vegetable stock and add the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Bring the soup to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup cook for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs from the pot. Using an immersion blender, blend a portion of the soup for a creamier texture, leaving some chunks for a rustic feel.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through, but avoid boiling.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
