Golden Oyster Mushroom Soup

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sweat until they become translucent.
2. Add mushrooms and cook 5-7 minutes, or until they start to brown and become tender.
3. Sprinkle turmeric over mushrooms and stir well to evenly distribute. Remove a few good-looking mushroom pieces and reserve for garnish.
4. Add wine and reduce 1 minute. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
5. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until it's smooth and creamy.
6. If removed to blend, return the soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently and do not allow it to boil again.
7. Season with salt and pepper, taste then ladel into bowls. Garnish with saffron and fresh thyme.
