1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Cook the mushrooms:
- Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, thick-bottomed pot. Once hot, add butter and swirl until melted. Add mushrooms, stirring to coat with oil and butter. Cook on medium-high heat until lightly browned and most of their liquid is released, about 10 minutes. Remove 1 cup of cooked mushrooms and set aside.
- Add shallots and garlic:
- Reduce heat to medium. Add minced shallots and garlic to the pot, stirring for about a minute.
- Season and simmer:
- Stir in salt, dried tarragon, and stock. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Purée the soup:
- Use an immersion blender or transfer in batches to a standing blender to purée the soup until smooth. Return the puréed soup to the pot. If too thick, adjust consistency with water or additional stock.
- Finish the soup:
- Whisk in cream and black pepper. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the reserved cooked mushrooms.
- Serve and enjoy:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, and if you enjoyed the recipe, please consider leaving a star rating and comment below!
