Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high.
- While the pot heats, thinly slice mushrooms
- When the pot is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then mushrooms, onions and leeks. Cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.
- Strip 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) thyme leaves from stems, then finely chop.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add bacon. Cook for 5-7 min, flipping occasionally, until crispy.** Remove from heat. Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Reduce heat for the pot to medium.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then flour, half the thyme and half the garlic to the pot with mushrooms and leeks.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring often for 30 sec, until mixture is fragrant and veggies are coated.
- To the pot, add cream, broth concentrates and 2 cups (3 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce to a simmer over medium-low. Simmer for 6-8 min, stirring occasionally, until soup thickens slightly.
- Meanwhile, halve ciabatta. On a foil-lined baking sheet, arrange ciabatta, cut-side up.
- In a small pan (or microwaveable bowl), melt 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter.
- Add remaining garlic, remaining thyme and half the parsley to the melted butter. Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
- Drizzle garlic and herb butter over ciabatta. Sprinkle cheese over top.
- Broil in the middle of the oven for 2-4 min, until cheese melts and begins to brown. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)
- Stir truffle salt and remaining parsley into soup. Season with pepper, if you like.
- Roughly chop bacon.
- Divide soup between bowls. Sprinkle with bacon.
- Serve cheesy herb and garlic toasts alongside for dipping.
