Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ounce dried mushroom (porcini, morels, or shitakes)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 sprigs rosemary
4 sprigs sage
1 large yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
1 lb white button mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
1 lb shiitake mushroom, stemmed cleaned and thinly sliced
6 cups chicken stock or 6 cups water
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Soak the dry mushrooms in 1 cup of warm water for 20 to 30 minutes, until plump.
  • Strain the soaking liquid through a coffee filter to remove grit and reserve, along with the reconstituted mushrooms, until needed.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over a medium flame. Bundle the rosemary and sage together and tie with kitchen twine. When the oil is hot, add the herb bundle and sizzle for a few minutes on both sides to infuse the oil.
  • Add the onion, garlic, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent but not brown.
  • Turn the flame to high and add the white mushrooms and shitakes.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, during which the mushrooms will give off their liquid (which should evaporate quickly due to the high heat) and deflate significantly. Stir occasionally.
  • Add the chicken stock and the dried mushrooms along with the soaking water.
  • Simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the herbs, then add the cream and butter. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth. Return to the pot and keep at a very low simmer until ready to serve.

This soup is delicious! The flavors are rich and complex, and the texture is creamy and smooth. I love the hint of sherry and the touch of creaminess from the mascarpone cheese. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup is a must-try! It's creamy, flavorful, and packed with umami. The mascarpone cheese adds a touch of richness that takes this soup over the top. I highly recommend serving it with a side of crusty bread.
