Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver Mushroom Soup is a blended soup made by sautéing mushrooms with onions and garlic, simmering in stock, and blending until smooth. It’s earthy, savoury, and gently creamy without feeling heavy.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 500 g fresh mushrooms (chestnut or button), sliced

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

    • 1 onion, finely chopped

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 750 ml vegetable or chicken stock

    • 50 ml cream or milk (optional)

    • Salt and black pepper

    • Fresh thyme (optional)

    • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the mushrooms properly

Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms in batches if necessary. Let them cook without stirring too much so they brown rather than steam. This step builds flavour.

Step 2: Add onion and garlic

Reduce the heat slightly. Stir in the chopped onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Add stock and simmer

Pour in the stock and add fresh thyme if using. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavours to develop fully.

Step 4: Blend until smooth

Remove from heat. Blend the soup using a hand blender until smooth and velvety. You can leave a few mushroom pieces for texture if preferred.

Step 5: Add cream and season

Return to low heat and stir in cream if using. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat gently without boiling.

Step 6: Serve

Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
