Mush Mór Creamy Exotic Mushroom Soup

(Serves 4)

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 240 g sliced fresh mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, or your choice)

• 2 tablespoons Mush Mór Original mushroom powder

• 1 tablespoon plain flour

• 900 ml vegetable or chicken stock

• 240 ml milk or cream

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)

• Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

1. Sauté the Aromatics:

• In a large pot, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat

• Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes

• Add the minced garlic and Mush Mór Original mushroom powder, sauté for another minute until fragrant

2. Add Sliced Mushrooms:

• Add sliced mushrooms of your choice (preferably exotic) to the pot

• Cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms start to soften

3. Create the Base:

• Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning. (Make sure there’s enough oil/butter to coat the grains of flour)

• Gradually add the stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps

• Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld

4. Finish the Soup:

• Stir in the milk or cream and soy sauce (if using)

• Season with salt and pepper to taste

• Heat the soup until it is just warmed through, but do not let it boil

• Blend (Optional)

6. Serve:

• Ladle the soup into bowls

• Garnish with fresh parsley or chives

Tips:

• Add a splash of white wine after adding the garlic and mushroom powder for an added depth of flavour

• If you prefer a thicker soup, add a bit more flour or reduce the amount of stock
