Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 cups beef or chicken stock
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 pound fresh wild mushrooms, trimmed, cleaned and thinly sliced (see note)
1 can (16 ounces) imported Italian plum tomatoes, drained and finely chopped, or 2 fresh, very ripe medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 eggs
4 to 6 slices, 1/2 inch thick, Italian or French country-syle bread, toasted
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

Place stock in a heavy-bottomed soup kettle, and bring to a slow simmer over medium heat.
Meanwhile, over medium-high heat, melt butter in olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan. When foam has subsided, add garlic and chopped onion. Saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is transparent, about 1 minute.
Add fresh mushrooms, and saute, stirring frequently, until mushroom liquid has evaporated and slices begin to brown. Add to simmering stock, together with tomatoes, salt and pepper. Simmer very gently, uncovered, until flavors are well blended, approximately 30 minutes.
Just before serving, stir parsley into soup. Beat eggs with fork in a small bowl until blended. Add beaten eggs slowly to simmering soup, beating constantly with a long-handled fork. Eggs will spin out in threads.
To serve, place a piece of toasted bread in each of four soup plates. Ladle hot soup over bread slices. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and serve immediately, accompanied by grated cheese.

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds fresh wild mushrooms (see note), cleaned and sliced
1 tablespoon flour
2 sprigs fresh thyme
5 cups well-flavored chicken stock

Steps:

Crush the garlic with a knife blade, and saute over medium heat in the olive oil until garlic starts to brown. Add the mushrooms, and stir until they are well coated. Saute, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their liquid and start to brown.
