1. Set oven to 200°C. (See tip) Dice the onion, celery, carrot and potatoes.
2. Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Add onion and celery, cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add carrot, potatoes and mushrooms to pan.
3. Stir 2 crumbled stock cubes, 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp flour through vegetables until coated. Slowly add milk until well combined. Increase heat and bring to the boil while stirring. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Place rye breads in the oven to toast for 10 minutes, or until slightly crispy. (optional!)
