Ingredients

1 package of button mushrooms (approx. 8 oz), chopped

2/3 cup of shiitake mushrooms (preferably fresh), chopped

1/2 cup of quinoa

1 medium sized onion, diced

3 cups of chicken stock

fresh chives, chopped

2 tablespoons of molasses

3 tablespoons of butter

1 cup of heavy cream

1/3 cup of creme fraiche

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Toast the quinoa in a dry frying pan, on medium heat until it’s fragrant.

Use a large sized stockpot or saucepan to melt 2 tbsp. of butter on medium-high heat. Stir in the onions, and cook them until they are caramelized, which should take about 6 to 8 minutes. Then stir in the mushrooms, the quinoa and the molasses. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid; if necessary add a little chicken stock. Add the remaining chicken stock, and allow it to boil. Now reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer until the quinoa is cooked (approx. 18 to 20 minutes).

Meanwhile, take a different frying pan and melt 1 tbsp. of butter on medium heat. Sauté the shiitake mushrooms until they are softened; set aside.

Use a blender or a food processor to puree the soup, and then return it to the saucepan. Stir in the cream and heat the mix, paying the necessary attention to NOT LET IT BOIL. Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with shiitake mushrooms, crème fraiche and chives.

I am anxious to try this but need to get mushrooms and cream. I have used quinoa in a soup and a salad. I really like it and it is so good for you.
