I haven’t done any recipes in a while, for one reason or another, but as I happened to be making mushroom soup, I thought it might be nice to take a few pictures and put up a recipe.

As usual, I won’t bother giving quantities.  Just play around with the amounts and see what you like.  The world won’t explode if you get it wrong.

For this soup, you’ll need these things:

 

Mushrooms

Onions

Garlic

Lemon

Mascarpone

Add your mascarpone.  If you prefer a sharper flavour, you can try yoghurt, but it’s completely up to you.Experiment with cream cheese, crème fraîche or whatever you think might work.  Mushroom soup recipe 007
Whizz it all with a stick blender until it’s smooth and creamy.  Mushroom soup recipe 008

    Nice. I like to throw some finely chopped up choriso, fried til it’s nearly burnt, just before serving. gives it a nice spicy kick and texture.

    Fine pictures, and the method instructions are idiot proof. I’ll google the ingredient mascarpone, which seems to rhyme with Al Capone.

    I’ve used Greek yoghurt, cream cheese and creme fraiche. All work. Don’t bother too much about the details.
