Soup season has finally arrived, and one of my favourite soups is this beautiful Rustic Mushroom and Thyme soup. If you are a mushroom lover, this soup is a must! Thyme is such an excellent herb to cook with, I recommend growing it in your garden.
A hot tip: make sure to break up some crusty bread and add it to your soup! It's just so delicious!
Let's Make Some Soup!
The mushrooms give such a meaty flavour and the thyme gives it that earthy rustic taste.
You can make this vegan by substituting the butter for vegan butter or sub ¼ cup of butter with 2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
When it comes to adding the salt, I advise adding the bulk of the salting last. This is important if you use salted broth, you don't want to over-salt your soup.
Baby King Oyster Mushroom really brings this soup to life, this is my favourite mushroom to cook with.
