Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Sunflower Oil
  • 2 Large Onion
  • 20 g Dried Porcini Mushrooms
  • 1 Litre Vegetable Stock
  • 300 g Chestnut Mushroom
  • 3 Clove Garlic
  • 300 g Turnip
  • 20 g Fresh Thyme
  • 2 Large Carrot
  • 15 g Fresh Parsley
  • 250 g Cooked Carlin Peas

Instructions

  • Halve and finely slice the onions. Heat the oil in a large pan. Tip in the onions and fry for 5-10 mins until golden. Meanwhile, pour the vegetable stock over the porcini mushrooms. Leave to soak for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the rest of the vegetables. Peel and chop the turnip and carrots. Slice the mushrooms and finely dice the garlic. Add the mushrooms and garlic to the pan with the turnip and carrots. Fry until the mushrooms soften and start to brown.
  • De-stalk the thyme and sprinkle the leaves into the pan along with the carlin peas. Fry for a further minute. Then pour in the porcini stock mixture, cover the pan and simmer for 20 mins.
  • Chop the parsley, reserving some for garnish. Stir the parsley into the soup with plenty of pepper and serve immediately with the remaining parsley sprinkled on top.
