Equipment

  • large soup pot or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon
  • blender (immersion blender or regular)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 yellow onions chopped
  • 2 leeks only white part ~1 cup
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 8 oz brown mushrooms chopped
  • 3 cups peeled and cubed potatoes ~10 oz
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 5 cups broth
  • ½ cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 sprig fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 sprig fresh marjaram
  • 1 sprig fresh lemonbalm
  • 1 cup grated parmesan or nutritional yeast to keep it vegan
  • ½ cup heavy cream or a plant-based cooking cream

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot. Sauté the chopped onions and leeks until softened (~3-5 minutes).
  • Add the mushrooms, minced garlic, salt, and pepper and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown (5 minutes). Stir constantly to avoid burning.
  • Add the diced potatoes, broth, and white wine (if using) and all the fresh herbs. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook covered with a lid for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the herbs from the soup. Stir in the grated Parmesan and heavy cream (if using), allowing it to melt into the soup.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning. You might need to add some more salt depending on how salted your broth is.
  • Allow the soup to cool until it's cold enough to handle. Using a stick blender or a regular blender, blend the soup until you achieve your desired consistency.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, and fresh herbs.

Notes

Using a high-quality veggie stock without many additives is crucial for the flavor. The recipe can be made vegan or dairy-free by substituting with plant-based cream and nutritional yeast. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
