Ingredients

One 9-inch sourdough boule
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 pounds mixed mushrooms, thinly sliced (cremini, shiitake, oyster and/or chanterelle)
4 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups toasted walnut halves and pieces, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon finely minced thyme
1 tablespoon finely minced rosemary
1 tablespoon finely minced oregano
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth, preferably organic

Steps:

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
Tear the boule into 1-inch pieces and evenly divide between 2 medium sheet trays. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out into a flat, even layer.
Bake on the upper and lower racks for 15 minutes; remove and toss, then switch the position of the sheet trays and bake until golden brown and crunchy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
While the croutons bake, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil and add half of the mushrooms; spread into an even layer. Cook for 5 minutes, undisturbed. Stir and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the remaining mushrooms. Cook until golden brown and softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then pour into a large bowl.
Heat the skillet again over medium heat. Drizzle in 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the celery and scallions. Cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and add to the large bowl.
Next, add the walnuts, thyme, rosemary, oregano and croutons; toss to combine. Add 2 cups of the broth, stir and let absorb for a few minutes, then add 1 cup. Stir and pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; add the remaining 1/2 cup broth and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
Bake until golden and crispy on top, 30 to 35 minutes.

Ingredients

1 pound sourdough bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (8 cups)
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 1/4 pounds cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed, quartered or halved if small (6 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 medium leeks, white and light-green parts only, halved and thinly sliced (2 cups)
1 rib celery, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
2 sprigs thyme, plus 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced (2 teaspoons)
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus more for serving

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Divide bread between two rimmed baking sheets and spread in a single layer. Bake, stirring a few times, until crisp and dried all the way through, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
Heat 5 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to bowl with toasted bread. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet. Add leeks, celery, and thyme sprigs; cook until vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, chopped thyme, and red-pepper flakes; cook 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup broth and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom, until evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard thyme sprigs. Transfer to bowl with bread; let cool 5 minutes. Meanwhile, brush a 2- to 2 1/2-quart baking dish with oil.
Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. Add parsley to bowl with bread; toss to combine. Slowly drizzle with remaining 1 1/2 cups broth, stirring to moisten. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Loosely cover with parchment-lined foil. Bake 20 minutes. Uncover; continue baking until golden on top, 25 minutes more. Serve, sprinkled with more parsley if desired.
