Serves: 4 | Cooking Time: 35 mins

  • 150g mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 small cauliflower (about 250g), roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small carrot, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 900ml vegetable stock
  • 150ml cream
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Sauté Vegetables Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until golden. Add celery, cauliflower, carrot, and garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2: Add Stock and Simmer Pour in vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until all vegetables are very tender.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth Use a stick blender to puree the soup until completely smooth and silky. Alternatively, blend in batches in a regular blender.

Step 4: Add Cream and Finish Stir in cream and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 3 more minutes. Serve hot with crusty bread.
