For the potato and mushroom soup, cut the onion into half rings and the garlic into slices. Peel and dice the potatoes.
Clean 3/4 of the mushrooms and cut them into coarse pieces. Grate the thyme. Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion and garlic.
Sauté the potatoes, mushrooms and thyme for a few minutes, adding a little salt.
Deglaze with white wine and boil down. Pour in the soup and bring to the boil, cover and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until soft.
In the meantime, clean the remaining mushrooms, slice and lightly fry in 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter with the remaining thyme in a non-stick pan, season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle brown bread slices with olive oil and roast in a preheated oven at 200 degrees convection.
Add the whipped cream to the soup and puree finely with a hand blender, season with salt, pepper.
Serve the potato and mushroom soup with the fried mushrooms, the toasted brown bread slices and fresh thyme.
Preparation Tip:
Stale bread can be used for the croutons. It goes very well with the potato and mushroom soup.
