276: Mushroom and Mead Soup

This was a masterwork of using up of ingredients,. Even though I say so myself. The ingredients were:

• 500gs mushrooms
• 1 red onion
• 1 1/2 pints chicken stock
• 100ml clotted cream (I just happened to have this in; it would be tremendously decadent to buy clotted crean just for putting in soup)
• 50ml mead

Method:

• Chop and fry onion, add stock
• Roughly chop mushrooms and add
• Simmer
• Blitz
• Add mead simmer a little more to take the sharpness of the alcohol off
• Stir through the cream

I've not floured this recipe up. Basically, 'cos its so simple. The booze and cream added a touch of richness to set it apart from just ordinary soup. I like my soup thick* and maybe I should have cut down the amount of stock a little. 

Another happy result.
