Warm up with a really simple mushroom soup recipe. Make it extra special by using wild mushrooms or keep it down to earth with delicious chestnut mushrooms. A swirl of cream wouldn't go amiss here, either.

Method
Melt the butter in a large pot and gently cook the leeks and garlic for 4–5 minutes or until softened but not browned. Add the mushrooms and thyme and cook on high for 3–5 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and have released much of their water.
Pour over the stock and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, carefully pour into a food processor and blend until smooth. Alternatively, keep in the pot and use a stick blender to blitz until smooth.
Divide between four bowls and serve.
