Ingredients

Prepare these ingredients to create your gourmet Wild Mushroom Soup with Truffle Foam:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 500g wild mushrooms (e.g., porcini, chanterelles, cremini), cleaned and sliced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Truffle oil (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for foam)


Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.


Step 2: Cook the Mushrooms

Add the wild mushrooms and sauté until tender, releasing their juices. Sprinkle in thyme leaves for a subtle herbaceous note.


Step 3: Simmer and Blend

Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, then use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Stir in the cream and butter, seasoning with salt and pepper.


Step 4: Create the Truffle Foam

Whip 1/2 cup of cream with an immersion blender until frothy. Add a few drops of truffle oil for a luxurious flavor.


Step 5: Serve with Elegance
