The original recipe appeared on Mushrooms Canada website. I made some changes to enhance the soup. This is easy to make and has a very pleasant mushroom flavor.

Time 42m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 ounces fresh button mushrooms, thinly sliced
6 ounces fresh cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
3 cups water
3 tablespoons chicken soup base or 3 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 large bay leaf
1/4 cup scallion, finely chopped
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup whipping cream, 35%
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Rinse both mushrooms in cold water and immediately pat dry with paper towels.
  • Cut mushrooms into quarters and then slice thinly, 1/8 inch thick.
  • In a large heavy bottom soup pot, melt butter on medium heat.
  • Add mushrooms and saute for 5 to 6 minutes or until liquid from the mushrooms has mostly evaporated.
  • Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, stirring often.
  • Gradually stir in chicken broth, water and chicken soup base and bring to boil, about 5 minutes, stirring often so the bottom does not burn.
  • Add thyme, bay leaf and green onions.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaf and discard.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and whipping cream.
  • Slowly add 1 cup of hot broth mixture from the soup pot to the egg/cream mixture, whisking constantly until incorporated. This prevents the egg yolks from cooking.
  • Return mixture to the soup pot, adding slowly and whisking all the time while adding.
  • Heat over low heat until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Add white pepper to taste.
  • Serve soup sprinkled with minced parsley.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this soup. The sherry and Parmesan cheese really balance out the flavor of the mushrooms.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend adding a little more broth next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.
