You can make a bowl of soup for the entire family for less than 5 dollars!

This is what you need

• 450 g mushrooms (baby bella)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• pepper and salt
• 15 g butter
• 35 g flour
• 500 ml vegetable broth
• 500 ml water
• 2 g thyme
• 120 ml heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce

This is how to do it

• Carefully rinse the mushrooms and slice half of them into slices and the rest into cubes.
• Put the olive oil, mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper into a soup pot and let it fry on medium to high heat, until the mushrooms have lost their moisture. The mushrooms should go dark in colour.
• Add the butter and flour to the pot. Stir and let the it all cook for about 2 minutes. The flour and butter will form a thick paste over the mushrooms at the bottom of the pot. Make sure the flour doesn’t burn.
• Add the broth, water and thyme. Stir it all together until you can no longer see lumps of flour. Let it simmer softly.
• Mix the cream through the soup and add the soy sauce for the finishing touch. Have a taste, and add salt and pepper to taste.
