Instructions
  1. Melt butter with oil in pan and sauté onions until soft but uncoloured.
  2. Add shitake mushrooms and cook over a medium heat for a few minutes. Set aside a few for garnish before adding remaining mushrooms to pan. Season with a light pinch of salt, lashings of pepper and sauté for a couple of minutes.
  3. Add boiling liquid along with dried mushrooms and return to boil. Strip off thyme leaves and add to pan.
  4. Simmer for 20 minutes. Blend cornflour in a small cup of water and add to pan. Bring to boil, stirring, and simmer for a few more minutes to thoroughly cook flour. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Blend soup until smooth.
  6. Stir in most of the cream and serve with a little swirl of remaining cream and a few shitake slices.
