    My favourite mushroom recipe is soup, and the recipe I use is the Avoca one except that I don't use flour and they do. I blend the soup to thicken it.
    I usually make it when I get a couple of big bags of mushrooms on special offer in the supermarket.

    25g/1oz butter
    450g/1lb onions, peeled and finely chopped
    1.1kg/2 1/2 lbs mixed mushrooms, finely chopped
    1.2litres/2 pints vegetable or chicken stock
    600ml/1 pint of milk
    1 teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme
    Salt & black pepper

    Melt the butter over a very low heat, add the onions and cook gently for 10 minutes. Raise the heat, add the mushrooms and season well with salt & pepper. Cook for 3 minutes or until the juices start to run, then add the stock and milk and the thyme. Stir well then simmer for 10 minutes. Take out a around a ladle full of mushroom pieces and blend the soup with a hand blender. Put the mushroom pieces back in and serve.
    This makes a lot of soup but it freezes really well. Sometimes I just make half the amount.

    Made this last night. Next week's lunches sorted, lovely jubberly. Added in a squeeze of lemon juice, some garlic and a potato, and also thickened with cornflour.
