Mushroon Soup From The Golden Mushroom Restaurant Recipe 325

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.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute mushrooms and onion in butter until tender.
• Sprinkle with flour, salt and pepper; mix well.
• Gradually stir in milk, chicken broth and bouillon; bring to a boil.
• Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat.
• Stir in sour cream; heat through (do NOT boil).
• If desired, garnish with a dollop of sour cream or minced parsley.

Steps:

• To brown and soften the onions, heat ½ cup of water or vegetable stock in a large pot and add the onions.
• Cook over high heat, stirring often, until the onions are soft and all the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Add another ¼ cup of water or vegetable stock, stir to loosen any bits of onion that have stuck to the pan, and continue cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated and onions begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Add the sliced mushrooms and spices.
• Lower the heat slightly, cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the soy sauce and stock.
• Cover and simmer 10 minutes.
• In a separate pan, mix the olive oil and flour to form a thick paste.
• Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute then whisk in the soy milk or rice milk and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until steamy and slightly thickened.
• Add the milk mixture to the soup.
• Stir in the lemon juice and red wine just before serving.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the mushrooms with lemon juice. In a food processor, coarsely chop them.
• Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan and lightly saute the shallots. Add the mushrooms, thyme, and bay leaf and saute over moderate heat for 10 minutes, or until the liquid disappears. Add the salt, pepper, cream, and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add the cornstarch to the soup and continue to simmer 10 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Correct seasoning to taste.
• Serve in warm bowls. Sprinkle with minced parsley.
