- Add diced onion and fry until softened.
- Add sliced Portobello mushrooms until softened.
- Add in porcini until softened.
- Add in stock, being careful to retain the last tablespoon of stock as this part contains the most sediments; stir and allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes.

- After soup is cooled, it can be blended with an immersion blender or in a high speed blender.
- Before serving, heat up soup and finish with cream, drizzle with truffle oil and salt and garnish with chives or parsley.
