Time 55m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 white onion, peeled and chopped
3 large portobello mushroom caps, cleaned and chopped
5 (13.75 ounce) cans chicken broth
8 parsnips, peeled and chopped
2 cups fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch fresh tarragon
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 pinch kosher salt to taste

Steps:

  • Pour 1/3 cup olive oil into a deep pot, and heat over medium heat. Stir in the carrots, celery, and onion; cook until vegetables can be pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes. Stir in the portobello mushrooms, and cook 5 minutes more. Pour in the chicken broth, and add the parsnips and shiitake mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the parsnips are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Place 1/3 cup olive oil in a blender or bowl of a food processor. Add the garlic, tarragon, and thyme, and pulse until well blended. Stir the mixture into the soup. Season to taste with kosher salt.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used fresh thyme from my garden and it really made a difference. I will definitely be making this again.
