Steps
Notes from Nourishible editors
Written by our recipe team from the video and the method above.
- Quantity · Step 4: The video gives no amount for the mushrooms; as an estimate, about 250g suits four servings alongside one onion.
- Technique · Step 4: Let the onion and mushrooms go properly dark before the flour goes in; the browning is where the soup gets its savoury depth, so don't rush it.
- Equipment · Step 7: The video uses a hand blender; a jug blender works too, in batches, with the soup cooled slightly first.
- Swap · Step 8: No double cream? A spoonful of crème fraîche is another rich dairy topping and gives a similar swirl.
