Take the chill out of a crisp Fall or snowy winter day with this delightful soup. Use any mushrooms you wish. MELISSA's dried are terrific and many kinds to choose from.
Ingredients
- 12 oz mushrooms (I used 8 oz crimini and 4 oz post-soaked weight porcinis) shopping list
- 1/2 cup shallot, minced (about 1 large) shopping list
- 1 tsp herbs de Provance -recipe is on my recipe page or shopping list
- (this is just a mixture of savory herbs; you could use thyme and a little rosemary) shopping list
- 1/4 cup plus 2 TB sherry shopping list
- 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth shopping list
- Cream shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- chives shopping list
- oil and butter for cooking shopping list
How to make it
- Finely dice your shallots.
- Chop half your mushrooms coarsely.
- And the rest finely. If you're using dried mushrooms, soak for 20 minutes in enough hot water to cover.
- After mushrooms are re-hydrated, chop finely but strain and save the mushroom water
- add when you add the broth.
- Sweat shallots and coarsely chopped mushrooms in a medium to large pot in 1 TB olive oil and 1 TB butter over low heat until it starts to caramelize a bit.
- Add the remaining mushrooms and herbs; cook for another 10-15 minutes until mushrooms have released their liquid and everything has cooked down a bit.
- Add sherry and stir and cook until sherry has evaporated.
- Add broth and let simmer for 15-30 minutes.
- Add another 2 TB sherry and mix to combine.
- Ladle into soup bowls, top with a bit of cream and chives. Serve with toasted baguette slices and a green salad if desired.
