Method

step 1
Put the dried porcini (30 g) into a bowl and cover with just-boiled water from the kettle. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the porcini to rehydrate.
step 2
Meanwhile, melt half the butter (20 g) in a large saucepan over a low heat. Stir in the onion (1), the whole garlic cloves (2 cloves) and half the thyme (2 sprigs) and season. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft.
step 3
Drain the porcini, reserving the soaking water. Stir the porcini into the pan, pour in the wine (100 ml) or vermouth and cook for 1 minute, then add the parsnip (500 g), stock (900 ml) and reserved mushroom water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 12-15 minutes, until the parsnips are tender.
step 4
While the parsnips cook, melt the remaining butter (20 g) in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the chestnut mushrooms (250 g), porcini, remaining thyme (2 sprigs) and chopped garlic (1 clove) and season. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
step 5
Blend the soup with a hand blender until smooth, then season to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls, then spoon over the cooked mushrooms and their juices. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
