How to

Melt the butter in a large sauce pan and tip the bay leaf in.  Add the onions, garlic and dried thyme. Cook till soft. Add in the mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes.

Add the vegetable stock, milk; season well and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender. Turn the heat off and remove the bay leaf.

In a blender or food processor, carefully blend the soup until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add a bit of hot water to adjust the consistency. Pour the soup back into the sauce pan. Add the cream and gently heat through.

Serve immediately!
