1. The best way to clean mushrooms is to not wash them, but if they are dirty, you can wash them gently one by one and immediately pat dry with paper towels, don't keep them in water too long.
2. You can cut off the stem or remove the stem by fingers, but don't throw it away, use them to make broth. Place the mushrooms caps on the cutting board and slice them. Set aside.
3. Peel the carrot and trim off the top, cut carrot and celery into a few big pieces.
4. Trim the ends of the onion, cut in half, peel off skin both halves and discard the skin. One halve cuts into big pieces for broth. Another halve chops into small pieces for frying with mushroom slices.
5. Throw onions, carrots, celery, peppercorns and herbs in a pot. Cover with 500ml of water, set the pot over medium high heat and bring it to a boil, then turn the heat down to low heat and cook for 30 minutes. The cooking time depends on how much stock you make.
6. Remove the pot from the stove, and set a strainer over a bowl, pour the stock through, pressing on the solids to extract any extra liquid and discard the vegetables.
☞ For the mushroom soup
1. Cook onions in olive oil and butter in a soup pot over medium high heat, then reduce heat to low and cover to cook for 8 minutes until soft but not browning.
2. Add the mushroom slices and salt, stir evenly, cover with lid and cook for 10 minutes until liquid from mushrooms has mostly evaporated.

4. Transfer 3/4 soup to a blender and puree until smooth, creamy and thick.
5. Return soup to pot and stir well. Season with salt and black pepper if needed, and serve in bowls, garnish with mushroom slices or drizzle a few drops of olive oil. Enjoy!
