Steps

about 30 minutes

1

Peel and finely chop the onion.
2

Wipe, trim, and thinly slice the mushrooms. It’s best not to wash mushrooms under water; instead, brush them well with a cloth to remove any dirt.
3

In a large pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion with the garlic until softened. Add the mushrooms, cover, and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes.
4

Sprinkle in the paprika and flour, and mix well. Pour in the water and add the crumbled bouillon cube. Season with salt and pepper, and add the pinch of nutmeg. Stir to combine.
5

Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes.
6

Add the heavy cream, stir, and blend briefly with an immersion blender to leave some mushroom pieces. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7

Serve hot, garnished with parsley and a sprinkle of Espelette pepper (or cayenne).
