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.

Steps:
- Trim the rind from the brie and then roughly tear it into 2-inch pieces. (It is easy to trim if you first place the cheese in the freezer for 30 minutes or until it is sufficiently hard.) Set aside.

- in a medium stockpot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, shallots, and lemon juice and cook 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat, add the flour, and stir until the flour is fully incorporated.
- Return the mixture to heat and add the beef broth and reserved sherry. Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the trimmed Brie, stirring until the cheese has melted. Add the half and half and pepper and continue to simmer without boiling for 5 minutes.
- ladle the soup into separate bowls and garnish each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chives.

PORCINI MUSHROOM SOUP
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.

PORCINI MUSHROOM SOUP
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.

PORCINI MUSHROOM SOUP
Steps:
- Soak the porcini mushrooms in 2 cups of hot water for about 15 minutes, or until they are soft. Set aside. Heat a splash of the olive oil in a large thick-bottomed pot, saute the shallots for a couple of minutes, then stir in the rosemary and potatoes. Add the remaining olive oil and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, the porcini along with the soaking liquid, the 4 cups of water, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for ten minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Taste. If the broth is too intense, you may want to add more water a bit at a time. And take care to get the salt right as well, it's important in a simple soup like this. Serve as is or topped with any number of the ingredients I listed up above. *To oven-roast chestnuts, heat the oven to 400F. Prepare the chestnuts by setting them flat-side down. Now carefully cut a small 'x' into the round side of each chestnut - to allow steam to escape as they are roasting in the oven. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake cut side up, for about 20 minutes or until fragrant and the edges of the 'x' cuts begin to peel back a bit. Remove from oven, let cool, peel, and cut into quarters. I always roast a few extra chestnuts while I'm at it in case there are a couple that are off or moldy when you go to peel them.*To oven-roast chestnuts, heat the oven to 400F.

PORCINI MUSHROOM SOUP
A delicious earthy broth good for a cold night (Taken from cookstr.com). When the grocery store produce aisle is bare, I substitute button mushrooms for either the creminis, the porcinis (or both). I also add 1/2 cup wild rice before the 45 minute simmer.
