Ingredients

Serves

The quantities follow this count.

1.5 lb white mushrooms
1 small potato
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
3 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How to cook it

Heat the olive oil in a pot and cook the chopped onion and garlic over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and the diced potato and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until the mushrooms release their liquid.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the potato is completely tender.
Blend the soup until smooth with an immersion blender or in a countertop blender.
Season with the salt and the pepper and serve hot with bread on the side; this is a genuinely everyday light cena, the kind of plato y medio starter a Spanish family reaches for on a plain weeknight.
