Easy Mushroom Soup

I had a nice big handful of oyster mushrooms that I had grown using my mushroom growing kit and wanted to make a mushroom soup that wasn’t just the standard cream of mushroom soup.

250g mushrooms (oyster, button or a mix of whatever you have)

2 tbsp oil (I used lime flavoured avocado oil)

1 litre vegetable stock

2 cloves garlic

1 tbsp miso paste

Salt and pepper to taste

Handful of herbs e.g. parsley and thyme

Chop mushrooms into small pieces.  Heat oil in a saucepan.  Saute mushrooms until tender.  Add stock, garlic, and miso paste and simmer for 15-20 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

Ladle soup into bowls.  Stir through some yoghurt if desired or add a dollop of creme fraiche. Garnish with a few fried oyster mushrooms and a sprig of thyme.
