Steps:
- Slightly rinse the mushrooms with cold water to remove any dirt or debris and pat dry with paper towels (do not soak them). Slice half of the mushrooms and roughly chop the other half.
- In a large saucepan, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook gently for about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme, a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring regularly, until the mushrooms start to brown, about 5 minutes. Spoon out 3 tablespoons of mushrooms and keep them for later (if you like to serve the soup topped with saute' mushrooms).
- Stir in the second Tbsp of oil, add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds to a minute. The flour, the oil and part of the mushroom moisture will form a thick paste called roux that will thicken the broth.
- Add the vegetable broth and stir while returning the mixture to a boil. You want to dissolve all of the flour from the bottom of the pot. After a couple of minutes, as soon as the liquid comes up to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the milk.
- Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes.
- Finally, add the soya sauce and cook for a further minute.Taste and adjust seasoning, as necessary (it depends on the salt content of your vegetable broth)*
- Spoon the soup into bowls, garnish with the remaining mushrooms and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with toasted bread on the side and enjoy!

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic and onion and season with pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken stock, bread, vermouth and thyme. Bring to a simmer and simmer for another 20 minutes.
- Transfer the soup to a blender, add 2 to 3 teaspoons sherry vinegar and, with the motor running, drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil for a creamy texture. Season with salt and pepper and more sherry vinegar as needed to balance the richness. Divide the hot soup among bowls and garnish with Tahini Herb Drizzle, fried shallots and chopped dill.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and honey. Season with salt and pepper. If necessary, thin with a few teaspoons of water to achieve the desired consistency.

Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. This will help to bring out their flavor and give them a slightly caramelized texture.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can make your own by simmering some vegetables in water.
- Add some herbs and spices to taste. This will help to give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include thyme, oregano, rosemary, and garlic powder.
- Don't overcook the soup. Otherwise, the mushrooms will become tough and rubbery. Simmer the soup for just until the mushrooms are tender.
- Serve the soup with a garnish of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream. This will add a nice finishing touch to your soup.
