Creamy Shiitake Mushroom Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the shiitake mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, and shallots for about 5 minutes, or until soft. Mix in the flour until smooth. Gradually stir in the chicken broth. Cook, stirring, 5 minutes, or until thick and bubbly.
• Stir in the half-and-half, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Heat through, but do not boil.

Steps:

• In a heated saucepan, add oil and onion. Saute until opaque. Add mushrooms and saute about one minute longer, stir some.
• Add broth, soy sauce, ginger, and Chinese five spice powder. Bring to a boil for one minute. Then reduce temperature to low heat.
• In a small bowl add 1/4 cup of soup and stir until it has lowered its temperature. Then add the half-and-half and stir.(Add as much as you want. I just limited it to keep the calorie count lower.) Then return the mixture to the rest of the soup and stir. If you've done this right, your half-and-half will not clump.
• Cook on low for one minute more and then serve with freshly cracked pepper on top.

Steps:

• In a 4-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes, or until fragrant and soft. Add the corn, salt, and water, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the corn is very tender. Remove from the heat and let cool for at least 10 minutes before proceeding.
• Position a coarse-mesh sieve on top of another saucepan. In batches, purée the soup in a blender or food processor until velvety smooth. Pour each puréed batch through the sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Add the mushrooms and set the soup aside until ready to serve. (The soup may be made up to 2 days in advance, cooled, and refrigerated.)
• Reheat the soup over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. If the soup is too thick, thin it with water. Taste and add extra salt, if necessary. Ladle the soup into a large serving bowl or individual bowls. Sprinkle with the chives and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Saute the mushrooms and onions in half of the butter for 5 minutes over medium heat.
• Mix the beef and chicken stock; add mushrooms and onions. Add toasted sesame seeds and remaining butter; heat, stirring, until butter melts. Add salt. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Cool slightly. Stir in heavy cream. Do not allow to boil.
• Serve warm or cold, garnished with chives. Add pepper as desired. Enjoy!
