    Title: Creamy Mushroom Soup
    Categories: Soups
    Yield: 1 Batch

    2 tb Olive oil
    4 cl Garlic; chopped
    1 sm Onion; chopped
    225 g Mushrooms; sliced
    1 ts Fresh thyme; minced -OR-
    1/3 ts Dried thyme
    Salt & pepper; to taste
    300 g Box soft or silken tofu
    250 ml Stock or water (1 c)
    1 tb Sherry MMMMM--------------------------GARNISH-------------------------------
    Olive oil; drizzle
    Korean chili flakes

    Heat oil and saute onions and garlic until onion is translucent and
    garlic is lightly toasted. Stir in sliced mushrooms, thyme, some salt
    & pepper. Saute for about 4 minutes.

    Remove 1 tb of the mixture and set aside. See notes.

    Add stock or water and tofu to pot and stir. Bring to a boil, reduce
    heat, and simmer for 2 minutes. Don't over-boil, or the tofu can get
    grainy.

    Blend until smooth with a stick blender or in a food processor. Stir
    in sherry. Adjust seasoning with more salt & pepper to taste. May
    need about 1/2 ts or more additional salt.

    Garnish with the reserved mushroom mix, a drizzle of olive oil, and a
    sprinkling of Korean chili flakes. Don't skip this step as it adds
    depth and layers.

    Notes:

    Usually I don't set any mushroom mix aside before blending. Instead I
    saute a bunch of extra sliced mushrooms in another pan for about 4
    minutes to add in at the end. Because mmmm mushrooms.

    I generally use my homemade stock made from leftover chicken carcasses
    and/or pork bones, but the soup can be vegan with vegetable stock or
    water.
