125 g butter
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 large onion, diced
225 g fresh morel mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp chicken soup base
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
475 ml water
475 ml heavy cream
0.125 tsp ground dried thyme
salt to taste
2 tsp ground black pepper
Step 1
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic, onion, and morels, and cook until the onions are soft and translucent, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken soup base and flour, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the water and cream, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Blend half of the soup in small batches, making sure not to overfill the blender. Return the puree to the pot and cook on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper before serving.
