Ingredient notes & substitutions
Salted butter can be swapped for unsalted. Add a pinch of salt at the end if needed, but taste test first!
Dry white wine - choose a nice kind for the best taste, and serve the same wine alongside the soup for a perfect pairing. You can also use sparkling wine.
Yellow onion can be swapped for shallots or red onion
White button mushrooms can be swapped in part or fully for another type of mushrooms - my favorite is some kind of chanterelles
Cream can be full fat or half n half - use fall fat for the most filling meal
Mushroom stock - homemade is always best, but I used a bouillon cube
Concentrated mushroom stock can be skipped, but adds loads of taste
Tips & tricks
If you don't have an immersion blender you can allow the soup to cool down a bit and then add it to afood processor or regular blender. However, make sure the soup has cooled as it will otherwise create to much pressure and you will have soup all over the kitchen.
Add more garlic taste by leaving one, or both, of the garlic cloves in the soup and mixing it in with the immersion blender
Make it vegan by using full fat coconut milk instead of cream, and vegetable oil instead of butter - it changes the flavor a bit, but it's still delicious
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days
Freeze itto keep for longer, this soup freezes really well and is good for at least 3 months
