Love is in the air

Good morning everyone!

It's Monday again and the start of a fantastic new week. The snow is still falling so we are still surrounded by a beautiful winter wonderland!

A few nights ago we had some friends over for a romantic double date. Music playing, candles lit, good food ;-) ...we had a great time!

We started off our meal with a mushroom soup. It was delicious, easy to make and it warmed us through and through...perfect for this time of year in the northern hemisphere. Any type of mushroom can be used, I used normal button mushrooms (champinjoner). Here's the recipe:



-2 tbsp butter
-3 big handfuls mushrooms, sliced
-1 red onion, chopped
-3 garlic cloves, chopped
-1 handful fresh thyme, chopped
-1/2 litre vegetable stock
- 2 dl cream
-Salt and peppar

Melt the butter and fry the chopped mushrooms for a few minutes until they get soft. Add the onion, garlic and thyme and fry until the onions soften. Add the vegetable stock, bring to the boil then let it simmer on low heat for 20 minutes(add more water if it gets to thick). Season with salt and peppar. Blend the soup with a mixer until smooth. Add the cream just before serving.

Mix some creme fraiche with the zest of a lemon and serve with the soup. Eat and enjoy in the company of good friends!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
