Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

25g dried porcini (ceps)
50g butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, sliced
thyme sprigs
400g mixed wild mushrooms
850ml vegetable stock
200ml tub crème fraîche
4 slices white bread, about 100g, cubed
chives and truffle oil, to serve

Steps:

  • Bring a kettle to the boil, then pour the water over the dried porcini just to cover. Heat half the butter in a saucepan, then gently sizzle the onion, garlic and thyme for 5 mins until softened and starting to brown. Drain the porcini, reserving the juice, then add to the onion with the mixed wild mushrooms. Leave to cook for 5 mins until they go limp.
  • Pour over the stock and the reserved juices, bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 mins. Stir in crème fraîche, then simmer for a few mins more. Blitz the soup with a hand blender or liquidiser, pass through a fine sieve, then set aside.
  • Heat the remaining butter in a frying pan, fry the bread cubes until golden, then drain on kitchen paper. To serve, heat the soup and froth up with a hand blender, if you like. Ladle the soup into bowls, scatter over the croûtons and chives and drizzle with truffle oil.
