Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 yellow onions, chopped
  • 2 leeks, white parts only, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 8 oz / 225 g brown mushrooms, chopped (227 g)
  • 3 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 5 cups broth
Herbs and Seasoning
  • ½ cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig fresh parsley
  • 1 sprig fresh marjoram
  • 1 sprig fresh lemon balm
Finishing Ingredients
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream or plant-based cream

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Warm olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, then cook the chopped onions and sliced leeks for 3–5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the chopped mushrooms, garlic, salt, and black pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.
  3. Mix in the cubed potatoes, broth, optional white wine, thyme, parsley, marjoram, and lemon balm. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
  4. Cover the pot and simmer for 15–20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender and the vegetables have softened.
Finishing
  1. Remove the herb sprigs, then stir in the Parmesan cheese and heavy cream or plant-based cream until the soup is smooth and combined.
  2. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until creamy, or blend only part of it to leave some vegetable pieces for a rustic texture.
Serving
  1. Serve the soup hot with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Adjust the final seasoning after adding Parmesan cheese because the cheese adds saltiness to the soup.
