Lily and button mushroom soup.




















Theres nothing I love more than a creamy bowl of mushroom soup!
Ive used lily and button mushrooms here, but you can adapt it to your favourite mushrooms.

Recipe
As many of your favourite mushrooms
1 vegetable stock cube
Half a cup of non-dairy cream (I used alpro)
Two cloves of garlic or two spoonfuls of garlic puree
Half an onion (optional)
1 tsp of dried rosemary
1 tsp of dried coriander
1 tsp of dried parsley
2 tsp of cornflour to thicken
Fresh sprig of one of the above herbs as a garnish
Salt to taste

Method
- Boil mushrooms in the vegetable stock until soft
- Add onion to soften
- Let broth cool slightly then transfer to a food processor
- Add dried herbs, cream, garlic and salt and mix for five minutes
- Transfer back to pot and bring to the boil
- Dissolve 2 tsp of cornflour in water and mix into soup
- When thickened, transfer to bowl, garnish and serve

I absolutely adore this soup recipe. I hope you will too :3!
