Ingredients
- 2 brown onions finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic sliced
- 500 g mushrooms sliced (button, Swiss brown or mixed)
- 1 litre chicken bone broth or chicken stock / vegetable stock for plant-based
- Pinch sea salt and white pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce to taste
Optional Additions
- 1 tin cannellini beans drained (for added protein + fibre)
- To Serve
- Natural yoghurt or coconut milk to swirl
- Fresh herbs parsley or thyme, optional
- Sourdough bread toasted, with hummus
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onion and cook for 6 - 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft, sweet and lightly caramelised.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes, allowing them to soften and lightly caramelise.
- If needed, add a small splash of water to help the mushrooms cook down.
- Pour in the bone broth (or stock) and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
- Remove from heat and blend the soup until silky and smooth using a stick blender or high-speed blender.
- If using cannellini beans, add them before blending for extra creaminess, protein and fibre - particularly good if making a vegetarian version.
- Return the soup to low heat.
- Stir in tamari, then season with salt and white pepper to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and finish with a swirl of yoghurt or coconut milk.
- Top with fresh herbs if desired and serve with warm sourdough + hummus.
