Farro-Mushroom Soup image

A twist on mushroom-barley soup, this warming broth, nourished with fresh hens of the woods, royal trumpets, oysters, and chanterelles, counts as a meal. The farro is tender but with a satisfying chew, a handful of dried porcini offers additional depth of flavor, and dill and vinegar give each spoonful a real pop.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup whole hulled farro, such as Hayden Flour Mills Farro Berries
2 cups boiling water
1/2 ounce dry porcini mushrooms (1/4 cup)
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 pounds mixed wild mushrooms, such as hen of the woods, royal trumpet, oyster, and chanterelle, wiped clean and sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
Chopped fresh dill, for serving

Steps:

  • Soak farro overnight in water to cover; drain.
  • In a small bowl, pour boiling water over porcini; let stand 5 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid. Chop porcini.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine farro, broth, and porcini liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until almost tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over high. Add onion, garlic, and porcini mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add wild mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released liquid and begun to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in sherry; cook until evaporated, about 1 minute.
  • Stir mushroom mixture into soup; cook, partially covered, until farro is tender, about 15 minutes. Season with vinegar, salt, and pepper. Serve, sprinkled with dill.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices.
