Instructions
- 1
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery and sauté until softened, approximately 5 minutes.
- 2
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add all the chopped mushrooms (including the enoki) to the pot. Sauté for about 7-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened and starting to brown.
- 4
Add the diced tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down a bit.
- 5
If using, stir in the green peas and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 15 minutes.
- 6
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or blend in batches in a regular blender). If you prefer a more rustic texture, feel free to leave some chunks.
- 7
Return the soup to the heat, and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
- 8
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
This luxurious soup combines the earthy flavors of multiple mushrooms with a warm hint of ginger, creating an inviting and complex flavor profile. It’s perfect for those cozy days when you want something rich and satisfying.
