Hearty Mushroom Soup (Recipe)

Ingredients

4 tbsp butter

375g (12oz) chopped mushrooms

60g (2oz) chopped onions

2 cloves garlic, chopped

Salt and cayenne pepper to taste

1/2 tsp dry mustard

1 tsp wild mushroom powder

750ml (24fl oz) chicken stock

2 tbsp Madeira wine

60ml (2fl oz) double cream, at room temperature

Steps

1.  Melt the butter in a large pan over medium-low heat.  Cook the mushrooms, onions and garlic for about 20 minutes or until the mixture seems thick.  Add the salt, cayenne, dry mustard and mushroom powder; mix well.  Cook for about 5 minutes.

2.  Pour in the chicken stock and Madeira; bring to a simmer.  Allow the soup to cool slightly and then add the heavy cream very slowly, whisking constantly to ensure the cream does not separate or curdle.  Return the pan to the heat and gently reheat, stirring until slightly thick.  Serve immediately.
