Description

Learn how to make mushroom soup in a soup maker. Make this creamy yet warming soup in two ways, one of which involves a handy soup maker.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 30ml (2 tbsp) butter
  • 7.5ml (½ tbsp) oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 7.5ml (½ tbsp) thyme
  • 60ml (¼ cup) white wine
  • 25g (3 tbsp) flour
  • 375g (¾lbs) mushrooms
  • 500ml (2 cups) chicken stock
  • 2 beef stock cubes, crumbled
  • 125ml (½ cup) double cream
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • parsley, for garnishing

Instructions

Quick Option

 

If you are in a rush, you can place all the ingredients except the cream, seasoning and parsley in the Tower Soup Maker and hit the Smooth Soup button and let this smart gadget do its thing. Add the cream afterwards and season to taste. 

 

Slower Option 

 

  1. Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan and gently cook the onion until soft and translucent. 
  2. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 2 minutes. 
  3. Turn up the heat and pour in the wine, letting it sizzle for two minutes. 
  4. Turn off the heat and sprinkle in the flour, stirring vigorously to avoid any lumps from forming. 
  5. Transfer the contents to the Tower Soup Maker and add the rest of the ingredients, except for the cream, seasoning and parsley. 
  6. Hit the Smooth Soup button and let the machine do its magic, which would take 20-25 minutes. 
  7. Stir in the cream, season to taste and garnish with parsley. 
  8. Serve with your favourite crusty bread and white wine. Enjoy!

Notes

In this recipe, I used even amounts, i.e. 125g (¼lb) of white, chestnut and portobello mushrooms to enhance the flavour.

If you don’t have a soup maker, you can still make this recipe! In Step 5, add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan and after all the ingredients are cooked around 15 minutes later, tip the contents in a food processor and blend until smooth.

    I love making fridge vegetable soup, in other words soup using all the vegetables that need using from my fridge

    Vegetable soup would be top of my list. I’ve always made my vegetable soups using a lot of different vegetables and varying texture from small pieces to chunkier bits. My better half said they were nice but reminded him of stew or casserole so he has taken over the soup making in our house and would probably commandeer a new soup maker if we won! Of the soups he’s made his potato and leek is flavoursome but the carrot, potato, onion and butternut squash is probably my favourite. He tends to blend his quite well – liquid rather than recognisable chucks of vegetable. He won’t say what mix of pepper, herbs, spices or other ingredients he adds to the vegetables, but he hasn’t made a bad one yet so I am happy to let him keep his culinary secrets.

    Love butternut squash with plenty of thyme and seasoning and a hint of cayenne to give a bit of a kick. On a cold winters day nothing better IMO

    My soups usually have a bit of a kick to them, so Sweet Poato & Chilli, Leek & Yellow Pepper (although I pre-roast the veggies for that) and my current favourite Chicken & Sweetcorn.

    Would try to make Beef Broth but it’s difficult to make soup that tastes like the soup from cans, even if it has less additives and is healthier

    I’ve never made my own soup before and there are so many recipes on the web that I think I would have a go at making several different types of soup. I love vegetables so this would be a great way to up my veg intake. I think a broccoli and stilton soup would be my first choice.

    I’d make all the soups I usually make from scratch but without the effort as the machine would do the work for me, I’d probably make a Minestrone to start with
