Food And Wine Sausage And Mushroom Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and tip in the carrot, spring onions, garlic, mushrooms, oregano and fennel, along with a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5 mins.
• Add the sausagemeat and cook until browned all over, then add the chopped tomatoes and ketchup, along with a pinch of salt and 100ml water. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the sauce is thick, about 20 mins, stirring now and again. Season to taste, then serve with buttery mashed potato, pasta or couscous.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until vegetables and barley are tender.

Steps:

• Place dried porcini in a 1-cup measuring cup, and fill with hot water. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine potatoes, 1 3/4 cups wine, bay leaf and salt. Place over high heat to bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a large soup pot over medium heat, and add oil. When hot, add onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and stir for about 30 seconds. Drain porcini, straining and reserving liquid.
• Chop porcini and add to onion mixture. Add portobello mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, button mushrooms, butter and thyme. Stir until mushrooms begin to give off liquid and look less dry, about 10 minutes. When potatoes are tender, add them and their cooking liquid to pan of mushrooms. Add porcini soaking liquid and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook gently for 20 minutes.
• Allow soup to cool slightly. Working in batches, use a blender to puree soup. Return soup to a pan on medium-low heat, and add remaining 1/4 cup wine and the milk. Reheat just until soup is steaming; do not boil. To serve, place portions in bowls and garnish each with a squiggle of heavy cream and a sprinkling of parsley.

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove. When cool enough to handle, cut the sausages into 1/8-inch slices.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pot over moderately low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the broth, thyme, red-pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, and the salt to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Stir in the sausages and bring back to a boil. Add the pasta, reduce the heat, and simmer until just done, about 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley and the black pepper.
