Fresh Shitake Mushroom Soup
Food Ingredients:
300 grams fresh shitake mushrooms, thinly sliced 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1 small onion, chopped finely 50 grams butter 2 cups of chicken stock 1 cup of water 1 cup milk 3/4 cup breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs) 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper salt to taste
Recipe preparation:
1 Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Saute the garlic and onion. 2 Add the mushrooms, pepper & salt and cook until soften. 3 Add the chicken stock, water and milk and bring to the boil. Simmer, uncovered for 10 mins. 4 Remove from heat and using a hand blender, carefully pulse through the soup to blend the mushrooms. Try to blend a majority of the soup but leave some slices of mushrooms too. It adds great texture and you don’t want it to become a puree. 5 Add the breadcrumbs and heat over medium heat until the soup thickens. It should be creamy and thick. Add any extra salt & pepper for seasoning. 6 Serve the soup with homemade bread croutons or just a bit of crusty bread.
