Mushroom And Wild Rice Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, saute mushrooms in oil until tender. Add the rice, contents of seasoning packets, broth and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Add cream and heat through.

Steps:

• Cook wild rice as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add celery, onion and mushrooms; cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender.
• Stir in flour, sugar and pepper. Stir in cooked wild rice, broth, ham and Worcestershire sauce; cover and simmer 10 minutes over medium heat. Stir in yogurt; heat just until hot (do not boil).

Steps:

• Put the butter in a microwave-safe container (a liquid measuring cup works well) and microwave until the butter is completely melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. With a fork, whisk the flour into the butter to make a smooth mixture the texture of cake batter, then microwave until the roux is steaming hot and bubbling slightly around the edges, about 30 seconds.
• Scrape the roux into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker and whisk in the stock and wine. Stir in the mushrooms, wild rice, celery, onion, carrot, chopped garlic, thyme and garlic powder. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several generous grinds of black pepper. Cook on high until most of the rice grains are just slightly split open and the vegetables are tender, about 4 hours. (The soup can hold for 1 to 2 hours on the warm setting, but eventually the wild rice will overcook.)
• Turn the heat to warm. Put the sour cream in a small bowl and slowly whisk in a few spoonfuls of the hot soup until smooth, then stir the mixture into the soup. (This prevents the sour cream from separating.) If you'd like the soup to be thinner, whisk in warm broth or water to the desired consistency. Taste the soup and add more salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide the soup among bowls and top with chopped scallions or chives and dill. Reheat any leftovers on low until warm. (Boiling can cause the sour cream to break.)

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter until the oil is shimmering and the butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and carrots and saute until the onions are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and rice and cook for 5 minutes more, toasting the rice. Add the garlic.
• Add the stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Add the kale and kohlrabi, cover and simmer until the wild rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a spice mill or coffee grinder, pulse the porcini to a fine powder. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add the salt and wild rice. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Drain; set aside.
• In a large saucepan, heat half the oil over medium-high heat. Add half the mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and tender, about 7 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining oil and mushrooms.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Melt the butter; add the leeks. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mushroom powder; cook 1 minute. Add the sherry and soy sauce; cook 1 minute more.
• Add the stock to the pot; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms; return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook 20 minutes. Stir in the wild rice, cream, and parsley; adjust seasoning, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine chicken broth and rice in small saucepan. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, soak mushrooms in 1 1/2 cups hot water until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving soaking liquid. Cut off mushroom stems and discard. Thinly slice mushrooms.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in same pan. Add onion, garlic, rosemary and thyme and sauté until onion is very tender, about 10 minutes. Mix in potato, beef stock and reserved mushroom soaking liquid. Cover and simmer until potato is very tender, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer soup to blender in batches and puree until smooth. Return to saucepan. Stir in wild rice, mushrooms, 3/4 cup milk and Madeira. Cover and simmer 15 minutes to blend flavors. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Return soup to simmer.) Thin with additional milk if desired.

Steps:

• Place the dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl or a Pyrex measuring cup, and pour on 2 cups boiling water. Let sit for 30 minutes. Set a strainer over a bowl and line it with cheesecloth. Lift the mushrooms from the water, and squeeze them over the strainer. Rinse in several changes of water, squeeze out the water and set aside. Pour the soaking water through the cheesecloth-lined strainer, and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring often, until just about tender, about five minutes. Add the sliced fresh mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are beginning to soften, about three minutes. Add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Continue to cook for about five minutes until the mixture is juicy and fragrant. Add the reconstituted dried mushrooms, the wild rice, bouquet garni, mushroom soaking liquid, stock or water, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer one hour. Add the peas, and simmer another 10 minutes. Remove the bouquet garni, taste and adjust salt, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Turn on the sauté setting on a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker. Melt the butter, then add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and shrunk a bit, about 8 minutes. Add the celery, carrot, chopped garlic, thyme, garlic powder and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine. Add the flour and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated and no white spots remain.
• Pour in the stock and wine, and turn off the heat. Scrape the bottom of the pot very well to incorporate flour and any browned bits that are stuck to the bottom. (This will add flavor and also prevent a burn warning later.) Stir in the wild rice.
• Cook on high pressure for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the pressure reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually.
• Stir the soup and check the texture of the wild rice; if it needs a bit more time repeat the pressure cooking process for a cook time of 2 minutes and rapidly release the pressure. Check the texture of the soup; if you'd like it to be thicker, turn on the sauté function and let the soup simmer to reduce to desired consistency. Turn off the heat.
• Put the sour cream in a small bowl and slowly whisk in a few spoonfuls of warm soup until smooth, then stir the mixture into the soup. (This prevents the sour cream from separating.) Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the soup in bowls topped with chopped scallions or chives and dill. Reheat any leftovers on low until warm. (Boiling can cause the sour cream to break.)

Steps:

• Put the dried mushrooms in a mixing bowl and add eight cups of lukewarm water. Let soak for 30 minutes or longer. When the mushrooms are softened, massage them to extract any sand or soil, then squeeze them dry. Set aside, reserving the soaking liquid. Line a sieve with a double thickness of cheesecloth and strain the soaking liquid through it. There should be about seven cups. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat two tablespoons of the butter in a four-quart kettle or casserole and add the garlic and leeks. Cook, stirring often, about five minutes. Do not brown.
• Coarsely chop the soaked dried mushrooms and add them to the kettle. Sprinkle with the flour and cook over low heat, stirring often, about five minutes. Stir briskly from the bottom to prevent sticking. Add the wine, chicken broth and reserved soaking liquid. Simmer, uncovered, about an hour and 10 minutes. There should be about 9 1/2 cups of soup.
• Meanwhile, heat two tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and add one and a half cups of water. Bring to the boil and add the salt and rice. Cover closely and cook 50 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid and is tender.
• Strain the soup, reserving both liquids and solids. Put the solids into the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend thoroughly, then return them to the kettle and add the strained-off liquid.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a skillet and add the sliced fresh mushrooms. Cook about one minute, stirring. Stir in the lemon juice and Sherry. Add the sliced mushrooms and wild rice to the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with thyme. There should be about 10 cups of soup.
