Wild Mushroom Soup
|
|
 |
Makes 4 Servings
Found in a magazine. For a
light meal, all you need is some crusty French bread and a garden salad to
go with this comforting soup. Be warned, that this is filling, so if
serving as an appetizer, recipe will likely make 8 servings.
Ingredients
 |
3˝
cups canned low-salt chicken broth or vegetable broth |
|
˝-ounce
package dried porcini mushrooms |
|
1 tablespoon olive oil |
|
1˝
cups chopped onions |
|
12 ounces assorted wild
mushrooms (such as crimini and stemmed shiitake), sliced |

Directions
- Bring broth to boil in medium sauce-pan. Remove from heat.
Add porcini mushrooms to saucepan; let soak until mushrooms soften, about
20 minutes. Drain, reserving broth but discarding any sediment in
broth. Coarsely chop porcini mushrooms.
- Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add
chopped onions and sauté until tender, about 7 minutes. Add wild
mushrooms and button mushrooms and sauté until brown and tender, about 8
minutes. Add minced garlic, thyme and porcini and sauté 2 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over; stir 1 minute. Gradually whisk in reserved
porcini soaking liquid and low-fat milk. Bring to boil, stirring
frequently. Reduce heat to medium and boil gently until soup thickens
slightly, about 12 minutes. Transfer 1 ˝
cups soup to blender and puree until smooth. Return to pot.
Bring soup to simmer. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle soup into bowls and serve.
