Mushroom Soup (Soupe de champignons)

Instructions

1

Sauté the vegetables

In a large pot or cocotte, melt some butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms, peeled and diced potatoes, minced onion, and minced garlic.

2

Sweat the mushrooms

Let them cook for a few minutes to allow the mushrooms to release their juices, stirring well.

3

Simmer

Add enough water to just cover the vegetables. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally.

4

Season

Add salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, chopped parsley, and the crumbled bouillon cube.

5

Finish and Blend

Once the vegetables are tender, stir in the cream. Use an immersion blender to mix the soup until smooth.

6

Serve

Serve hot, optionally with some fresh crusty bread.
