Porcini Mushroom Soup image

This is an easy and delicious soup. The porcini mushrooms add richness and depth of flavour not often found in vegetarian soups. For a lighter broth, skip the purreeing step. The soup is based on a recipe from "Gourmet Magazine" (Dec. 2008). Soup, without dill and parsley, can be made 3 days ahead and chilled. Add herbs after reheating.

Mushroom and Dried Porcini Soup image

This has such an intense flavor for such a simple soup. With virtually no fat in the soup, it has a tonic quality, and not only makes a great starter or light supper, but a delicious and effective between meal pick-me-up.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (about 1 cup, approximately)
2 cups boiling water
4 ounces fresh white mushrooms or fresh shiitakes, cleaned
1 quart chicken or vegetable stock
2 large garlic cloves, sliced thin
1 (14-ounce) can tomatoes, drained and chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
A few drops fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
4 to 8 thin slices baguette, toasted and rubbed with a cut clove or garlic
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Place the dried porcinis in a bowl or a pyrex measuring cup and cover with 2 cups boiling water. Let sit for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, wipe the fresh mushrooms, trim away the bottoms if they're sandy, break off the stems and set them aside. Set aside the caps in a separate bowl.
  • Drain the porcinis through a cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a bowl. Squeeze over the strainer to extract as much flavorful liquid as possible and set aside the broth. Rinse the mushrooms in several changes of water. Measure the mushroom soaking water and add water to make 2 cups.
  • In a soup pot or a large saucepan, combine the mushroom soaking liquid, the chicken or vegetable stock, the soaked porcinis, fresh mushroom stems, garlic, tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon salt, and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer over very low heat for 1 hour. Strain the soup and return to the saucepan. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  • Slice the fresh mushroom caps paper-thin, toss with a couple of drops of lemon juice, and add to the soup pot. Heat through for 5 minutes.
  • If garnishing with the garlic croutons, top them with Parmesan and place in a hot oven or toaster until the Parmesan has melted. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each bowl with chopped fresh chives and a crouton or two if desired.

PORCINI MUSHROOM SOUP



Porcini Mushroom Soup image

Porcinis have a deeper, woodsier taste than some other mushrooms. If you can't find them fresh, dried work just as well - just use half as many dried and soak them in water to rehydrate.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Tips:

  • Use fresh porcini mushrooms. Fresh porcini mushrooms have a more intense flavor than dried mushrooms. If you can't find fresh porcini mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but you will need to soak them in water before using them.
  • Clean the porcini mushrooms thoroughly. Porcini mushrooms can be quite dirty, so it's important to clean them thoroughly before using them. Use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris from the mushrooms.
  • Slice the porcini mushrooms thinly. This will help them to cook more evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. This will help to prevent the soup from burning.
  • Sauté the porcini mushrooms in butter or olive oil until they are browned. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Add the onions, garlic, and celery to the pot and cook until they are softened.
  • Add the vegetable broth, white wine, and bay leaves to the pot and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the porcini mushrooms are tender.
  • Add the cream or milk and stir to combine.
  • Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme.

Conclusion:

Zuppa di porcini is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be made with a variety of ingredients. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, you are sure to enjoy this classic Italian soup.
