Ingredients
  • 6–8 (200 g) chestnut mushrooms
  • 10 (60 g) fresh shiitake mushrooms
  • 6 (250 g) white mushrooms (champignons)
  • 8 (200 g) oyster mushrooms
  • 2 (180 g) portobello mushrooms
  • 1/5 cup (50 ml) olive oil
  • 1 leek, white part only (150 g), finely chopped
  • 4 spring onions (60 g), finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ½ cup (125 ml) dry white wine
  • 1.5 litres hot water
  • 7–8 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
  • 2 teaspoons (16 g) salt
  • ½ teaspoon (2 g) black pepper
  • A few chilli flakes
  • White truffle oil, for serving
     
Method
  1. Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel or cloth, without washing them.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the leek and spring onions and sauté until softened and glossy, about 3–4 minutes.
  3.  Add the garlic and stir for a few seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Finely chop all the mushrooms and add them to the pot. If the stems are tender, use them as well.
  5.  Sauté thoroughly until the mushrooms develop colour and all their liquids evaporate.
  6. Deglaze with the white wine and allow the alcohol to evaporate.
  7.  Add the hot water and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the pot and simmer for 30 minutes.
  8. Uncover the pot and add the thyme leaves, salt, black pepper and a few chilli flakes. Stir and let simmer for another 3–4 minutes.
  9. Serve the mushroom soup hot, drizzling with a few drops of white truffle oil and sprinkling with extra chilli flakes, if desired.
