Mushroom, Rosemary and Truffle Soup

Mushroom Soup with fragrant rosemary and the earthy rich addition of black truffle. This mushroom, rosemary and truffle soup is packed with flavour and ready in under 30 minutes. Perfect for the cold weather we are having here in Western Australia.

There use to be an advert on British TV for 'cup a soup'. To be honest it was a bit freaky! A blue fluffy thing does the slalom down a mountain to give the lady making soup a hug. A two limbed blue fluffy thing!!

That all just sounds silly doesn't it!!! Think I need to find a clip!

Okay. So there we go! Bit odd. But I suppose it did what adverts are meant to do. It stuck with me. This is well over 10 years old and I still remember it. And every time I make soup I think 'Soup  - a hug in a mug' Actually I usually think 'Soup - a hug in a bowl' because let's face it, a mug isn't big enough!!!! Everyone wants a big bowl of soup. I mean if we are going to have a hug we want it to be a big bear hug that envelops you and you feel like it will never let you go.

I remember years ago, after I had had a particularly stressful day at work Stew saying to me. "Go home, have a bath and I'll be there in a few hours and we know I am good at two things, pouring wine and big bear hugs." There was probably ice cream too 🙂  (Probably Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream - as explained here 😀 )

Hugs are pretty awesome aren't they! So is soup! And this soup is no exception! It is rich and creamy with a hint of truffle (you can easily get away with just truffle oil here) and if you are feeling under the weather, or have had a stressful day what could be better than a big bowl of mushroom, rosemary and truffle soup. Comfort with a hint of decadence. (Ha just read that back!!! After a stressful day at work what is better is wine!!!!! But hey truffle soup isn't a bad choice either!)

This is another recipe that uses my beautiful Manjimup truffles. I have a couple more dishes to share with you over the next week or so.

Did you see the oozy delicious baked black truffle brie recipe? or the black truffle stuffed roast chicken? (Which a friend in Shanghai told me is called Black Widow Chicken.)

Both worth a cook! But for today I leave you with a big old bear hug in a bowl.
