Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 lb mixed mushrooms, porcini, oyster and white
1 1/4 cups milk
3 1/4 cups vegetable stock
salt
pepper
1 French baguette, cut into 8 slices
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3/4 cup gruyere cheese, finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and golden.
  • Wipe each mushroom with a damp cloth and cut any large mushrooms into smaller, bite-size pieces. (Mushrooms absorb water which can lessen their flavor.).
  • Add the mushrooms to the skillet, stirring quickly to coat them in the oil.
  • Add the milk to the skillet, bring to a boil, cover and leave to simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Gradually sitr in the hot vegetable bouillon.
  • Under a preheated broiler, toast the bread on both sides until golden.
  • Mix together the butter and garlic and then spoon generously over the toast.
  • Place the toast in the bottom of a large tureen or divide it among 4 individual serving bowls and pour over the hot soup.
  • Top with the grated Gruyere cheese and serve at once.

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound mixed mushrooms (cremini, oyster, shiitake) chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Marsala

1/3 cup heavy cream
5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley, chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat the oil. When almost smoking, add the onions and garlic over medium-low heat until the onions have wilted, about 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to high and saute until mushrooms are tender and all the liquid has evaporated. Remove pan from heat and pour in Marsala. Return pan to stove and allow wine to evaporate, about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and simmer for 1/2 hour until the sauce has reduced by half. Add heavy cream and mix well. Take the pan off the heat and add the fresh herbs and Parmesan and mix thoroughly.

CHEF JOHN'S CREAMY MUSHROOM SOUP



Chef John's Creamy Mushroom Soup image

This is one of my favorite soups of all time. It is so easy. The secret to this deep, rich soup is a long slow caramelization, the key to unlocking the mushroom's magic. This is just pure essence of mushroom.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup unsalted butter
2 pounds sliced fresh mushrooms
1 pinch salt
1 yellow onion, diced
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, peeled
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves for garnish, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms in butter with 1 pinch salt until the mushrooms give off their juices; reduce heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring often, until juices evaporate and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Set aside a few attractive mushroom slices for garnish later, if desired. Mix onion into mushrooms and cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 more minutes.
  • Stir flour into mushroom mixture and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Tie thyme sprigs into a small bundle with kitchen twine and add to mushroom mixture; add garlic cloves. Pour chicken stock and water into mushroom mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Remove thyme bundle.
  • Transfer soup to a blender in small batches and puree on high speed until smooth and thick.
  • Return soup to pot and stir in cream. Season with salt and black pepper and serve in bowls, garnished with reserved mushroom slices and a few thyme leaves.
