Method

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot and gently cook the leeks and garlic for 4-5 minutes or until softened but not browned. Add the mushrooms and thyme and cook on high for 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and have released much of their water.
  2. Pour over the stock and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove from the heat, carefully pour into a food processor and blend until smooth. Alternatively, keep in the pot and use a stick blender to blitz until smooth.
  4. Divide between four bowls and serve.
