COUNTRY MUSHROOM SOUP

June, 1988 - Country Home Magazine ... this soup is rich and delicious! It's worthy of company!

Provided by Terrie Hoelscher

Categories Vegetable Soup

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 c chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 c mushrooms, fresh, sliced
4 c chicken broth
2 Tbsp tomato paste
5 egg yolks
1/3 c parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp fresh parsley
1/4 c port wine
4 - 6 thick slices of french bread
extra parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

1. Butter and toast the slices of French bread under the broiler. Set aside. Turn broiler OFF, and set your soup bowls in the oven to pre-warm them, while you prepare the soup.
2. In a large, heavy saucepan, cook onions and garlic in oil until onion is tender. Don't let the garlic burn! Add mushrooms and cook another 8 - 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add broth and tomato paste. Bring to a light boil. Remove from heat.
3. In a small bowl, combine egg yolks, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese and parsley, stirring until well-mixed.
4. Gradually and slowly add 1 cup of the hot liquid to the egg yolk mix, stirring constantly with a whisk. Then, after the one cup of hot liquid is well-incorporated into the egg yolks, return the egg yolk mixture to the hot soup base mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. You are doing this so you'll introduce the hot mixture slowly into the egg yolks, and they won't cook instantly and make lumps of hard-boiled yolk. Be sure to stir constantly.
5. Stir well, and return it all to the heat. Bring it all up to temp., until it JUST reaches a soft boil. Add the wine, stir just until heated through, and remove from heat.
6. Place a piece of the toasted, buttered French bread into the bottom of each pre-heated soup dish. Ladle the hot soup over the toast slices. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot.

Tips for Making the Best Country Mushroom Soup:

Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good choices include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. This will help to brown them and bring out their flavor.
Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can use water instead, but the soup will not be as flavorful.
Add some cream or milk to the soup. This will make it richer and creamier. You can also use a combination of cream and milk, or even sour cream or yogurt.
Season the soup to taste. Salt and pepper are essential, but you may also want to add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Country mushroom soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious country mushroom soup that your family and friends will love.
