With the arrival of winter and the end-of-year holidays, nothing beats a good bowl of soup to warm up and prepare for the frenzy of the festivities. A delicious, refined and, above all, quick to prepare mushroom soup is the ideal solution. This recipe, created by chef Jamie Oliver, takes just 15 minutes and is perfect for a family dinner or a meal with friends.
This mushroom soup is not only quick and easy to make, but it is also suitable for vegetarians, making it an ideal choice for a convivial meal that will delight everyone. Here’s how you can make this flavorful soup in just a few simple steps.
Start by preparing the ingredients: two onions, a little olive oil, a chicken stock cube (or vegetable stock if you have vegetarians at the table), half a bunch of fresh thyme, two cloves of garlic , four large portobello mushrooms (or good-sized button mushrooms), 100 grams of basmati rice and finally a tablespoon of liquid cream. For a little holiday flavor, you can also add a teaspoon of truffle oil.
The preparation is simple. First, peel, halve and finely slice the onions, then brown them in a large pan with two tablespoons of olive oil. Crumble the stock cube into the saucepan, add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, as well as the thyme leaves. Crush the two garlic cloves and add them as well.
Next, remove the stems from the mushrooms and place the caps on a pan to grill. Make sure to flip them once they are nicely browned. Add the mushroom stems and caps to the pan with the onions, then stir in the rice. You can keep a few mushroom caps aside for decoration. Cook everything for a few minutes, then pour in a liter of boiling water and let it boil, keeping the lid on the pan.
Finally, use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency, whether smooth or thicker and more consistent. Season to taste, then add the cream and truffle oil in a circular motion to blend the flavors well.
All you have to do is prepare. Serve the soup hot in bowls, accompanied by toasted bread. This dish is not only a treat for the taste buds, but also a great way to start a festive meal. In just 15 minutes, you will have prepared an elegant and comforting dish that will delight your guests and warm up the atmosphere in your home during this winter period.
