Garlic And Mushroom Soup

Soup is a great way to gain all those healthy nutrients that we need and its lovely to warm up with a nice hot bowl of soup in the winter months when its cold.

I love experimenting with different flavours of soup and generally I don’t follow a recipe book much as I like to throw in different things to try so hope you like this one as its a little bit out there.

So here’s How I done It.

Ingredients

• Large Garlic Clove or two Small ones
• A punnet of wild mushrooms
• A punnet of Button Mushrooms
•  3 French Shallots
• 1 Leek
• 3-4 Potatoes
• 1 litre of Vegetable Stock
• Splash of white wine

Method

• I Started by chopping up my Garlic,both sets of mushrooms, the leek, potatos and shallots as this makes it easy as I go on.
• Next I use a large soup pot and fry off my garlic and for this I use a little sunflower oil.
• I then add in my chopped leek and shallots and add a little splash of white wine or a big slash which ever you prefer.
• Once everything is fried of I then added in my Vegetable stock, my chopped mushrooms my potatoes and turn the heat up to the boil.
• Once at the boil I would give it about 10-15 to ensure everything is soft and then i would turn the heat down and allow it to simmer for about 30-45 minutes.
• I then use my hand blending inside the pot to blend everything. Do be careful doing this as the soup will be very hot and may splash.
• Now that my soup is blended it is then time to serve. With soup I always recommend serving it with warm crusty bread and butter.

So there you have it my take on a Garlic & Mushroom Soup.
