Step 3

Pour the milk slowly and stir continuously to avoid lumps from forming. Cook for five minutes. Puree the mixture when it is a little cold.

Step 4

Do not puree it to a very fine consistency. The soup should have a nice texture. Bring it to a boil, correct consistency by adding more milk if required.

Step 5

Add the fresh cream (reserving a little for garnish), salt, white pepper powder and nutmeg powder. Stir well. Serve hot garnished with sliced mushrooms and reserved fresh cream.
