Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 50 g butter
  • 1 kg mushrooms mixed varieties are best for flavour and nutrient variety, but any will do
  • 6 chicken thighs
  • 2 L chicken bone broth
  • 2 onions chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 3 celery stalks
  • 4 carrots small
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup fish sauce

Instructions

  • Put all the ingredients in the slow cooker, cook on high for 4 hours
  • Open lid allow steam to escape, then blitz with stick blender (or put batches in the food processor) until desired texture forms. (I enjoy it a bit lumpy still.)

Plating

  • Serve alone or topped with bacon bits, spring onions and dollop of sour cream or greek yoghurt.

Notes

When the soup is blitzed it forms quite a creamy texture. So when I had left overs I didn’t add any sour cream or yoghurt and it was still just as yummy without it!
