After chatting with Rory about a new soup recipe I have tried, we both thought a cooking/recipe thread might be a good idea so here I am making a start.

This is Lorri's Mushroom Soup!
Mushroom and Tarragon Soup (half all amounts if just for you and you will get two good portions out of this!)
50 g Butter
1 Onion chopped
700g chopped mushrooms (you can have fun experimenting with different varieties of mushrooms)
850ml vegetable stock (Kallo are organic ones)
Teaspoon dried tarragon
150ml creme fraiche
pepper (and salt if used)
Melt half the butter in a large saucepan adding the chopped onion and cook gently for 10 mins to soften. Add remaining butter and mushrooms and cook for 5 mins till mushrooms are slightly softened.
Stir in stock and tarragon, bring to the boil then reduce the heat and leave to simmer gently for 20 mins. Take off the heat and put in blender. Add pepper (and salt if used) and creme fraiche. Reheat the soup gently stirring in the creme fraiche until hot. Serve immediately.
