Ingredients

  • 20g Coles Simply Salted Butter
  • 400g white cup mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 600g Coles Carisma Potatoes, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 cup (250ml) full-cream milk
  • 1/2 Coles Finest by Laurent White Sourdough Vienna, cut into 8 slices
  • 2 tbs Coles Wholegrain Mustard
  • 1/2 cup (50g) Coles Mexican Style Blend Shredded Cheese
  • 100g Coles Sour Cream

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mushroom and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 mins or until slightly golden. Transfer 1/2 cup mushroom to a plate and reserve. Add potato and 3 cups (750ml) water to remaining mushroom in the pan. Season. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 mins or until potato is tender. Set aside for 5 mins to cool.
  2. Use a stick blender to blend the mushroom mixture in the pan until smooth. Add milk and 1/2 cup (125ml) water. Return to medium heat. Season.
  3. Preheat grill on medium-high. Place the bread slices in a single layer on a baking tray. Cook under grill for 2 mins or until light golden. Spread 1 side of each bread slice with the mustard. Top with the cheese. Cook for 1-2 mins or until the cheese melts.
  4. Divide the soup among serving bowls. Top with dollops of the sour cream. Sprinkle with the reserved mushroom. Season with pepper and serve with the toasts.
