METHOD

01Clean the mushrooms and cut them into smaller pieces. Fry them in 1 tablespoon of butter for about 5 minutes.
02Transfer the fried mushrooms to a blender or food processor. Add the whipping cream and blend to a smooth paste. Stir in 2 pinches of salt. Let the mushroom mixture chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
03Heat the chilled mushroom mixture in a large saucepan. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Whisk in the mushroom cream and bring the mixture to a boil. Season with dry sherry and 2 teaspoons of salt.
04For the Parma ham crisps: Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F). Arrange the thin slices of Parma ham on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the upper part of the oven for approximately 4 minutes per side, until crisp.
05For the garnish: Slice the 100g of mushrooms thinly. Fry them in a hot pan with 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil for about 2 minutes, until golden. Sprinkle with 1 pinch of salt.
06Serve the hot soup immediately, garnished with the fried mushrooms and the crispy Parma ham slices alongside.
