Why this recipe is great

Creamy mushroom soup combines the pure, earthy flavor of homegrown mushrooms with a velvety texture provided by cream or milk. Mushrooms are rich in vitamins and fiber, making it a healthy choice. Your MiniChamp mushrooms give you an extra fresh twist right out of the grow kit.

Ingredients (for 4 people)

  • 400g fresh MiniChamp mushrooms (freshly harvested from your growing kit)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, pressed
  • 500ml vegetable broth
  • 200ml cream or cooking cream (or milk for a lighter version)
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • Salt, pepper and fresh parsley to taste
  • Optional: a splash of white wine for added depth

Step-by-step recipe

1. Prepare
Clean the mushrooms with a brush or damp cloth (avoid too much water). Cut them into slices. Chop the onion and press the garlic.
2. Fruits
Melt the butter in a soup pan over medium-high heat. Fry the onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the mushroom slices and cook for 5 minutes until soft and releasing moisture.
3. Cooking
Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Simmer gently for 10 minutes. Stir in the cream and puree with a hand blender until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Serve
Warm for another 2 minutes (do not boil). Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with bread or croutons.
