Equipment

  • casserole
  • Hand blender

Ingredients

  • 500 g blond or button mushrooms
  • 1 potato
  • 2 finely chopped shallots
  • 1 pressed garlic clove
  • 1 pinch grated nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 5 cl dry white wine
  • 1/2 l vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 sage leaf
  • 1 white leek thinly sliced
  • 1 small stalk of celery (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon grated pecorino
  • 10 cl liquid fresh cream
  • Ground pepper

FOR TOPPING

  • Pan-fried forest mushrooms
  • Homemade croutons
  • Chopped parsley
  • Pine nuts

Instructions

  • Peel and wash the potato, then cut it into pieces and boil until cooked.
  • Wash the mushrooms and cut them into small pieces. Brown them in a frying pan with the butter, stirring them very little to prevent them from releasing too much water.
  • At the same time in a casserole, pour the oil, add the pressed garlic, the minced shallots, a pinch of grated nutmeg and heat over medium heat until the shallots are translucent.
    Pour in the white wine and bring to a boil. Add the white leek in slices, the celery branch in small pieces, the mushrooms, the vegetable broth and the sage leaf.
    Reduce heat and simmer covered for 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove the sage leaf, add the potato pieces, pour the cream into the casserole, mix, then mix everything using your immersion blender.
  • Serve the soup hot in bowls and season to taste. Readjust the cream if necessary.
    You can serve with some pan-fried mushrooms, croutons, toasted pine nuts or some chopped fresh herbs.

Notes

Never pepper a soup for cooking, it will make it so hot you won't be able to eat it.
