Mushroom Soup with Mushroom Gremolata

You can use any mushrooms for this elegant soup: the important thing is to use plenty of them. It’s thickened with brown breadcrumbs, instead of flour, which give the soup a light and velvety texture.

Gremolata is usually made with lemon zest, parsley and garlic, but here mushrooms are used instead of lemon zest. A small amount is spooned over cream to add a flavour-boost and colour-contrast.
