HOLY MOLY POTATO SOUP



Holy Moly Potato Soup image

This is a turned-up version of a cheesy potato soup. We eat this often, especially on cold winter evenings, but it'd be lovely for family get-togethers or potlucks during the holidays! Crushed red pepper flakes really turn up the heat. -Angela Sheridan, Opdyke, Illinois

SLOW COOKER MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE SOUP



Slow Cooker Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup image

Making creamy soups in the slow cooker can be tricky because it's not possible to simmer them with the top off and reduce the liquid. One easy way to thicken without reducing is to use a roux, a mix of flour and butter. Heat the roux in the microwave, then whisk it into the stock in the slow cooker before adding the other ingredients. (If you don't have a microwave, simply melt the butter in a small saucepan, stir in the flour, let it bubble, then proceed.) This soup is best prepared on the high setting for two reasons: First, when cooked on low, the wild rice becomes too soft before the mushrooms are tender. Second, the roux doesn't thicken as effectively on low. If you need a longer cook time, omit the rice, put the soup on low for 8 hours, and turn the heat up to high before serving. Cook the rice separately according to package directions, then stir it in before serving. Find a pressure cooker version of this recipe here.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups vegetable or chicken stock, plus more as needed
1/4 cup dry white wine (see Tip)
2 pounds mixed mushrooms (such as cremini and shiitake), tough stems removed, chopped into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces
1 cup wild rice (about 6 ounces)
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 small yellow or red onion, grated or minced
1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
Chopped scallions or chives and fresh dill, for topping

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a microwave-safe container (a liquid measuring cup works well) and microwave until the butter is completely melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. With a fork, whisk the flour into the butter to make a smooth mixture the texture of cake batter, then microwave until the roux is steaming hot and bubbling slightly around the edges, about 30 seconds.
  • Scrape the roux into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker and whisk in the stock and wine. Stir in the mushrooms, wild rice, celery, onion, carrot, chopped garlic, thyme and garlic powder. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several generous grinds of black pepper. Cook on high until most of the rice grains are just slightly split open and the vegetables are tender, about 4 hours. (The soup can hold for 1 to 2 hours on the warm setting, but eventually the wild rice will overcook.)
  • Turn the heat to warm. Put the sour cream in a small bowl and slowly whisk in a few spoonfuls of the hot soup until smooth, then stir the mixture into the soup. (This prevents the sour cream from separating.) If you'd like the soup to be thinner, whisk in warm broth or water to the desired consistency. Taste the soup and add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide the soup among bowls and top with chopped scallions or chives and dill. Reheat any leftovers on low until warm. (Boiling can cause the sour cream to break.)

CHUNKY MUSHROOM SOUP



Chunky Mushroom Soup image

This is my absolute favorite mushroom soup! I came up with this recipe after reading a similar recipe in a magazine....I added more stuff...especially mushrooms! there's NO pureeing, so it's really chunky. You can use virtually any combo of mushrooms, but the button and baby bellas have been my favorite so far. Prep time includes chopping all ingredients plus cooking and stirring.

SLOW-COOKER MULLIGATAWNY SOUP



Slow-Cooker Mulligatawny Soup image

This soup is the result of British colonizers' encounters with rasam, a souplike dish from Tamil Nadu, a region in southern India, that's often made with lentils. "Milagu tannir," or pepper water, evolved into mulligatawny when the British made it thick, chunky and meaty. In her book "From Curries to Kabobs," the author Madhur Jaffrey wrote that mulligatawny was "an essential part of my childhood," as she ate it at the homes of Anglo-Indian friends and in hotels on vacation. Mulligatawny now bears no resemblance to rasam and has many variations; it is a dish that was invented and modified for colonizers' palates, and thus it has few rules. Ms. Jaffrey noted that "some curry powder has to be included for a true East-West flavor," as curry powder is more British than Indian. This slow-cooker version is thickened with masoor dal and coconut cream, and enriched with chicken thighs and tart apple.

2 teaspoons black or brown mustard seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, plus more to taste
4 cups chicken broth or stock
1 (5-ounce) can coconut cream (about ⅔ cup)

This comforting and creamy slow-cooker soup is loaded with earthy, umami flavor from the mushrooms and soy sauce. Puréeing only some of the slow-cooker mushroom soup gives the dish complex texture and eye appeal. Garnish with additional black pepper and chopped fresh thyme, if desired.

Categories     Slow-Cooker & Crock Pot Soup & Stew Recipes

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups boiling water

3 pounds assorted fresh mushrooms (such as cremini, portobello, shiitake, and button), sliced
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
⅓ cup heavy cream

Steps:

CHUNKY MUSHROOM SOUP (SLOW COOKER)



Chunky Mushroom Soup (Slow Cooker) image

This is the perfect soup to warm your insides. I love the smell in the house when this soup is cooking.

Provided by queenbeatrice

Time 6h20m

Yield 6 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
4 cups oyster mushrooms, sliced
3 cups button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5 cups chicken broth
1 potato, peeled and sliced thin
2 tablespoons red wine

Steps:

  • In large skillet on medium, heat oil and fry onions, garlic and carrots until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in mushrooms, thyme, paprika and pepper; cook stirring often until no liquid remains, about 10 minutes.
  • Scrape into slow cooker.
  • Add 1 cup broth to skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up remaining bits.
  • Scrape into slow cooker along with remaining broth and potato. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low until vegetables are tender and liquid is slightly thickened, about 6 hours.
  • Stir in cooking wine.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms for a more flavorful soup. Try using a combination of cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to brown them and bring out their flavor.
  • Add a splash of white wine or beer to the soup for extra flavor. If you're using wine, add it along with the mushrooms. If you're using beer, add it along with the broth.
  • Use a good quality broth. A homemade broth will give the soup the best flavor, but you can also use a store-bought broth if you're short on time.
  • Don't overcook the soup. The mushrooms should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

This chunky mushroom soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is packed with flavor from the mushrooms, onions, garlic, and herbs.
