Mushroom Soup With Tarragon Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in pan.
• Add the onions and sauté until they are transparent.
• Add the seasonings and stir for one minute.
• Add the mushrooms and 1/4 cup water.
• Sauté until mushrooms are done; about 7-8 minutes. Turn off heat, put lid on pan and let set for about 10-minutes to develop the mushroom flavor.
• Add the cream and simmer on LOW for about 8-minutes. DO NOT BOIL.
• Adjust salt and pepper.
• Serve in two bowls with a dollop of sour cream on top.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the shallots and garlic and cook over medium low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the mushrooms and cook gently for 4 minutes, stirring.
• Add the stock and milk and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft.
• Stir in the chopped tarragon, salt and black pepper. Season to taste.
• Leave the soup to cool slightly, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. I usually only puree half of the soup, to retain some of the texture.
• Return to the saucepan and reheat slowly on medium low heat.
• Stir in sherry.
• Ladle the soup into warm soup bowls. Very lightly sprinkle with Parmesan if desired and serve garnished with springs of tarragon.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, porcini mushrooms, tarragon, thyme, and bay leaf; sauté 10 minutes or until onions are lightly browned.
• Add garlic, and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add wine, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, button mushrooms, and cremini mushrooms. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Place bread in a food processor; pulse 5 times or until crumbly. Add the breadcrumbs, water, and bouillon cube. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
• Place about 2 1/2 cups mushroom mixture in a blender; process until smooth. Pour pureed soup into a large bowl.
• Repeat procedure with remaining mushroom mixture, 2 1/2 cups at a time. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and half-and-half. Top each serving with 1 teaspoon chives.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, saute the mushrooms, onion, garlic, tarragon and nutmeg in butter until vegetables are tender. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add broth; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; slowly add sour cream. Cook and stir until smooth. Stir in cream and milk. Add lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Heat through but do not boil.

Steps:

• Place a large pot over medium-low heat. Add butter and melt to coat the bottom of the pot. Add celery and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent and celery is softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Keep the heat low enough so that the butter does not burn and onion does not brown or caramelize. Add garlic; cook and stir until aromatic, about 1 minute. Stir in salt, white pepper, tarragon, and cayenne.
• Meanwhile, place a medium pot over very low heat. Add milk and chicken broth and allow to warm slowly. Do not allow to boil or scald.
• Stir flour into the vegetable mixture until no dry flour remains. Pour in all but 1 cup of the warm liquid and bring to a low simmer.
• Whisk cornstarch into the remaining cup of liquid until there are no lumps. Add the cornstarch mixture to the vegetables. Stir in sherry. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat until warm throughout and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Blend half of the soup in the bowl of a food processor or blender, then add back into the pot and serve.

Steps:

• Using a damp towel, gently wipe dirt from mushrooms. Trim the stems flush with the caps; discard stems.
• Place mushrooms in a medium bowl, and add the remaining ingredients. Toss to combine. Set mushrooms aside at room temperature, stirring occasionally, to marinate, at least 20 minutes or up to 4 hours. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large saucepan and cook the onions and garlic until soft but not browned, about 8-10 mins.
• Add the mushrooms and cook over a high heat for another 3 mins until softened. Sprinkle over the flour and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken stock, bring the mixture to the boil, then add the bay leaf and simmer for another 10 mins.
• Remove and discard the bay leaf, then remove the mushroom mixture from the heat and blitz using a hand blender until smooth. Gently reheat the soup and stir through the cream (or, you could freeze the soup at this stage - simply stir through the cream when heating). Scatter over the parsley, if you like, and serve.

Steps:

• First wipe the button mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Slice the morels in half first and check for bugs that might have crawled inside. If using fresh morels, wash them first; if dried you may reconsititue them by soaking them in warm water for 30 minutes.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a pan and saute the button mushrooms over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until done. Set these aside.
• Now melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same pan and saute the shallots over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes. Add the sliced morels and sauted for a minute more.
• Reduce the heat slightly and deglaze the pan with the wine. Stir in the stock and cream. Add the tarragon and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Let the sauce bubble for a few minutes until it reaches the desired consistency, then add the mushrooms back in and heat through.
• Serve with crostini (slices of a French bagette, toasted).
