Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, one pot, soups and stews, main course

Time 2h

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 ounce (1/2 cup) dried porcini mushrooms
2 cups boiling water
1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, as needed
1 large onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1/2 pound cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed, and sliced thick
2 large garlic cloves, minced
Salt to taste
2/3 cup wild rice
2 quarts chicken stock, vegetable stock or water
A bouquet garni made with a few sprigs each thyme and parsley, a bay leaf and a Parmesan rind
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl or a Pyrex measuring cup, and pour on 2 cups boiling water. Let sit for 30 minutes. Set a strainer over a bowl and line it with cheesecloth. Lift the mushrooms from the water, and squeeze them over the strainer. Rinse in several changes of water, squeeze out the water and set aside. Pour the soaking water through the cheesecloth-lined strainer, and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring often, until just about tender, about five minutes. Add the sliced fresh mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are beginning to soften, about three minutes. Add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Continue to cook for about five minutes until the mixture is juicy and fragrant. Add the reconstituted dried mushrooms, the wild rice, bouquet garni, mushroom soaking liquid, stock or water, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer one hour. Add the peas, and simmer another 10 minutes. Remove the bouquet garni, taste and adjust salt, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper and serve.

WILD RICE AND MUSHROOM SOUP



Wild Rice And Mushroom Soup image

Provided by Craig Claiborne And Pierre Franey

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 2h

Yield Eight to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups dried imported mushrooms, such as morels, chanterelles or porcini, about 3 ounces
5 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup finely minced garlic
2 cups finely chopped leeks
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups fresh or canned chicken broth
Salt to taste, if desired
3/4 cup wild rice
6 ounces fresh mushrooms, preferably shiitake, although cultivated mushrooms may be used; thinly sliced, about 3 cups
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry Sherry wine
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves, or use half the amount dried

Steps:

  • Put the dried mushrooms in a mixing bowl and add eight cups of lukewarm water. Let soak for 30 minutes or longer. When the mushrooms are softened, massage them to extract any sand or soil, then squeeze them dry. Set aside, reserving the soaking liquid. Line a sieve with a double thickness of cheesecloth and strain the soaking liquid through it. There should be about seven cups. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat two tablespoons of the butter in a four-quart kettle or casserole and add the garlic and leeks. Cook, stirring often, about five minutes. Do not brown.
  • Coarsely chop the soaked dried mushrooms and add them to the kettle. Sprinkle with the flour and cook over low heat, stirring often, about five minutes. Stir briskly from the bottom to prevent sticking. Add the wine, chicken broth and reserved soaking liquid. Simmer, uncovered, about an hour and 10 minutes. There should be about 9 1/2 cups of soup.
  • Meanwhile, heat two tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and add one and a half cups of water. Bring to the boil and add the salt and rice. Cover closely and cook 50 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid and is tender.
  • Strain the soup, reserving both liquids and solids. Put the solids into the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend thoroughly, then return them to the kettle and add the strained-off liquid.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a skillet and add the sliced fresh mushrooms. Cook about one minute, stirring. Stir in the lemon juice and Sherry. Add the sliced mushrooms and wild rice to the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with thyme. There should be about 10 cups of soup.

Tips:

  • Use High-Quality Wild Rice: Opt for whole grain wild rice for its nutty flavor and chewy texture. Look for plump and even-sized grains.
  • Soak the Wild Rice: Soaking the wild rice for at least 30 minutes helps reduce cooking time and ensures even cooking.
  • Use a Variety of Mushrooms: A mix of mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini, and oyster, adds depth of flavor and texture to the soup.
  • Sauté the Mushrooms: Sautéing the mushrooms before adding them to the soup enhances their flavor and aroma.
  • Use Unsweetened Almond Milk: Unsweetened almond milk adds a creamy texture without overpowering the soup's flavor.
  • Season to Taste: Adjust the seasonings, such as salt, pepper, and herbs, to your preference.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Top the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This wild rice and mushroom soup is a hearty and flavorful dish perfect for a comforting meal. The combination of wild rice, sautéed mushrooms, and creamy almond milk creates a rich and satisfying soup that is both healthy and delicious.
