Years ago, I tried the wild mushroom soup at Au Bon Pain bakery and knew immediately I had to find the recipe. I never found the recipe, so I created my own. This soup is fragrant, creamy and flavorful. Ingredients:
16 ounces baby bella mushrooms, washed & sliced |
1 large sweet onion, finely diced |
1/2 cup butter |
3 tablespoons flour |
1 cup dry white wine, such as chardonnay |
32 ounces chicken or 32 ounces turkey stock, preferably homemade |
1 ounce dried wild mushrooms, medley such as morels, porcini, chanterelles, oyster, shitake & lobster mushrooms |
1 tablespoon chicken base or 1 tablespoon bouillon |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
Directions:
1. In a 3 qt saucepan, saute bella mushrooms and onions in butter until soft.
2. Sprinkle with flour and whisk for about 2 minutes over medium heat.
3. Whisk in wine.
4. Whisk in stock, dried mushrooms, and chicken base or bouillon until smooth.
5. Cook over medium heat about 15 minutes.
6. Stir in heavy cream.
7. Serve immediately.
