Magic Mushroom Soup
“Nature alone is antique, and the oldest art a mushroom.” – Thomas Carlyle
There really is nothing quite like a hearty bowl of soup to warm you up on a chilly autumn afternoon. With creamy and rich white button mushrooms, you really can’t go wrong! Try out this seasonal soup recipe by KitchenAid for a true taste of mother nature’s very own pantry while you’re snuggled up in a cosy blanket on the sofa.
Ingredients
240 g Sliced white button mushrooms
300 g Diced yellow onion
2 Teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme (Plus more to taste!)
Two tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons wheat-free tamari
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
480 ml vegetable broth
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, to serve
To taste sea salt
Method
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil, and sauté the onions, thyme, and garlic for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
Step 2
Add in the mushrooms, tamari, and black pepper, and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are reduced and cooked through.
Step 3
Transfer the mushroom mixture to the jar of the KitchenAid® Power Plus® Blender, and add the broth.
Step 4
Secure the lid, and set the blender to the Adapti-Blend™ Soup program.
Step 5
Blend until the machine turns itself off. (Alternatively, blend for about 5 minutes, starting on speed 1 and gradually increasing to speed 10). The soup will come out of the blender piping hot!
Step 6
Season with salt to taste, and garnish with finely chopped parsley.
Step 7
Serve with crusty bread or a scoop of cooked grains.
