Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 pound domestic mushrooms, washed and sliced
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, washed and sliced
1/2 pound oyster mushrooms, stems removed, washed and sliced
1/2 pound chanterelle or similar mushrooms, washed and sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 shallots, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1 quart skim milk
1 branch fresh thyme
4 whole garlic cloves
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 pound black trumpet mushrooms, washed and torn into strips
1/4 pound enoki mushrooms
Small bunch chives, cut into 1-inch sticks

Steps:

  • Wash all the mushrooms in lukewarm water in a deep bowl. Mix the mushrooms well to loosen the dirt. Remove them from the water by hand, leaving the dirt in the bottom of the bowl. Repeat until there is no dirt. Remove the stems from the oyster and shiitake mushrooms, then slice all the mushrooms. Keep the domestic mushrooms separate from the other types.
  • Heat an 8-quart sauce pot over moderately high heat. Add the olive oil, the domestic mushrooms, and the minced shallots, and cook until the mushrooms are soft. Add the remaining mushrooms, and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vermouth, and reduce for 5 minutes.
  • Add the milk, fresh thyme, garlic, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, and lower to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, then remove the thyme sprig, and season with salt and pepper. Allow to cool slightly, then puree in the blender.
  • Meanwhile, quickly blanch the strips of black trumpet mushrooms in salted water. Cool and add to enoki mushrooms and chives.
  • To serve, reheat the soup in a sauce pot or in the microwave. Divide the tossed Enoki and black trumpet mushrooms into 6 equal portions, and place them in the center of 6 bowls. Pour the soup into the bowls at the table, pouring over the mushroom mixture to heat it up.

The result is a deliciously nourishing, vegetarian dish that everyone will love.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (about 1 cup)
3 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium carrots, finely diced
1 medium onion, diced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup pearl barley
4 cups low-sodium vegetable or mushroom broth
1/4 cup sour cream, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving
4 slices hearty white or sourdough bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the dried mushrooms in a medium bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let soak until well hydrated and softened, about 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the liquid. Roughly chop the porcini and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onion, cremini mushrooms if using, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all vegetables are tender and mushrooms are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and the tomato paste to the pot, then continue to cook, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle the flour and thyme evenly over the vegetables and cook, stirring, until flour is dissolved and no longer raw, about 1 minute. Stir in the barley, broth, reserved mushroom liquid and porcini, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover slightly and cook until the barley is tender and the soup has thickened and reduced slightly, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and ladle into 4 bowls. Dollop with sour cream, sprinkle with parsley and serve with a slice of bread, for dipping.

MUSHROOM SOUP



Mushroom Soup image

If the word "mushroom" conjures for you white buttons in little supermarket tubs, you're not alone. But there is a big world of mushrooms out there, and you don't have to be a forager to live in it. Wild mushrooms can be found in spring, summer and fall, but farmed mushrooms, grown mostly in the dark, are always around and a little easier to find than the ones hiding in the woods. So are dried mushrooms, which may be domesticated or truly wild and which are among the most flavorful ingredients you can keep in your pantry. This lovely soup is made with a combination of dried and fresh. It's delightfully simple - it comes together in about a half hour - which allows the complex flavors of the mushrooms to really shine through.

Categories     dinner, easy, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 to 3 ounces dried mushrooms (like cremini, morel; whatever you like)
1/2 stick butter
1 sprig fresh thyme or rosemary
1 large yellow onion or 3 or 4 shallots, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound fresh mushrooms like shiitake or button, sliced (a variety is nice)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup sherry or Madeira
5 cups chicken stock, mushroom-soaking liquid or a combination
1 cup cream (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Soak the dried mushrooms in 5 cups very hot water until soft, anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. When they are tender, remove mushrooms from the soaking liquid with a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid; slice or chop if the pieces are large.
  • Meanwhile, put the butter in a large pot that can later be covered over medium heat. When it melts, add the herb, onions and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to medium high, and add the fresh mushrooms; add the soaked mushrooms when they're ready. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until the mushrooms have given off their liquid and begun to brown, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the sherry or Madeira to the pot and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom as the liquor starts to bubble. Add the stock or soaking liquid and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a steady simmer and cook, covered, until flavors have melded, about 15 minutes.
  • Discard the herb. Reduce the heat to low, and purée the liquid with a hand-held mixer to desired consistency. (I like it half-puréed.) Add the cream if you're using it; stir to combine and let simmer for a few minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning; garnish with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Soak the mushrooms in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to rehydrate them and bring out their flavor.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Some good choices include porcini, shiitake, chanterelle, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms in butter before adding them to the soup. This will help to brown them and develop their flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
  • Add some fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to the soup for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

Conclusion:

Dried 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 mushrooms you may have. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and nutritious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
