Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h50m

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms
5 ounces fresh portobello mushrooms
5 ounces fresh cremini (or porcini) mushrooms
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1/4 pound (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 carrot, chopped
1 sprig fresh thyme plus 1 teaspoon minced thyme leaves, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts (2 leeks)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a dry paper towel. Don't wash them! Separate the stems, trim off any bad parts, and coarsely chop the stems. Slice the mushroom caps 1/4-inch thick and, if they are big, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • To make the stock, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot. Add the chopped mushroom stems, the onion, carrot, the sprig of thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add 6 cups water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Strain, reserving the liquid. You should have about 4 1/2 cups of stock. If not, add some water.
  • Meanwhile, in another large pot, heat the remaining 1/4 pound of butter and add the leeks. Cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the leeks begin to brown. Add the sliced mushroom caps and cook for 10 minutes, or until they are browned and tender. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine and stir for another minute, scraping the bottom of the pot. Add the mushroom stock, minced thyme leaves, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the half-and-half, cream, and parsley, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and heat through but do not boil. Serve hot.

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms ((can use dried chantrelle also))

WILD MUSHROOM SOUP



Wild Mushroom Soup image

This recipe combines "Wild mushroom soup with sherry and thyme" from Fine Cooking Cook Fresh magazine, Fall 2013, and "Wild mushroom soup" from Forgotten Skills of Cooking, by Darina Allen, Kyle Books, 2009. The first one has sherry, which I didn't want to use, and the second uses milk for half the liquid, which I also wanted to avoid. The recipe is vegetarian, and can easily be made vegan by substituting the butter and not using the cream garnish.

Provided by cowpants13

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1 1/2 lbs wild mushrooms, cleaned and finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, more to taste
6 cups vegetable stock

Steps:

  • Clean all the mushrooms before chopping (wipe with damp paper towel, or remove dirt with small mushroom brush).
  • Melt butter and olive oil in soup pot on medium heat.
  • Add shallot, cook until beginning to caramelize, stirring infrequently.
  • Add mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released their liquid and liquid has mostly evaporated.
  • Add broth and any soaking liquid, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook until mushrooms are tender. Adjust seasoning.
  • Remove from heat, cool slightly. Puree soup with stand blender (in batches) or immersion blender until smooth. (Add more liquid if you want it thinner: broth or water would do.).
  • Serve.
  • NOTES * I used a combination of fresh mushrooms including cremini, chanterelle, hen of the woods (maitake), and beech (bunashimeji). For depth of flavor, I added some some dried shiitake mushrooms. Soak dried mushrooms in 1-2 cups hot water for 30-60 minutes before use; add the liquid with the broth (discard sediment; if using shiitakes, discard stems too, they are tough). * Instead of separating the thyme leaves, you can just tie a bunch of sprigs together and fish the bundle out before pureeing. * The original recipes suggested leaving it half-pureed and "rustic" but I found it grainy so I pureed it completely. * This soup can be made ahead. Reserve 1-2 cups broth and add it while reheating on medium-low. * This is what I did for garnish per serving. When the butter and olive oil were hot, I cooked some pretty slices of cremini and reserved them. On each serving I drizzled about 1 tsp cream, eyedroppered very few drops of truffle oil, sprinkled a couple of thyme leaves, and floated a reserved mushroom slice.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of wild mushrooms. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good choices include chanterelles, morels, porcini, and shiitake mushrooms.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Brush off any dirt or debris with a soft brush. If the mushrooms are very dirty, you can rinse them quickly under cold water. Be sure to dry them thoroughly before using them.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. This will help to bring out their flavor and aroma.
  • Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have time to make your own broth, you can use a store-bought broth. Just be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the soup. This will help to brighten the flavor. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, and parsley.
  • Serve the soup with a crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Wild mushroom soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up any leftover wild mushrooms that you may have. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and nutritious soup that the whole family will enjoy.
