Mushroom Tarragon Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the shallots and garlic and cook over medium low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the mushrooms and cook gently for 4 minutes, stirring.
• Add the stock and milk and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft.
• Stir in the chopped tarragon, salt and black pepper. Season to taste.
• Leave the soup to cool slightly, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. I usually only puree half of the soup, to retain some of the texture.
• Return to the saucepan and reheat slowly on medium low heat.
• Stir in sherry.
• Ladle the soup into warm soup bowls. Very lightly sprinkle with Parmesan if desired and serve garnished with springs of tarragon.

Steps:

• Cook 1 minced garlic clove and 1 diced shallot in butter in a large skillet over medium heat, 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 pound each quartered shiitake and cremini mushrooms; cook until tender, about 10 minutes, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water if needed. Add 1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar and cook until evaporated, 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup chopped tarragon.

Steps:

• Mince carrots, onions, and celery in a food processor and saute in heavy pot with oil. Mince mushrooms in a food processor, add to pot along with tarragon, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 15 minutes. Do not burn.
• Add stock and cream and bring to a boil. Mix melted butter and flour until smooth and whip into soup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until all of the flour and butter mixture is incorporated and the soup is thickened. Simmer for 30 minutes and serve. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• 1. Melt 1 1/2 tbsp. butter in a dutch oven and saute onions gently for 10 minutes. Add remaining butter and add the mushrooms, cooking for 5 minutes or until browned.
• 2. Add stock and tarragon to the mushroom mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• 3. Add mushroom mixture to a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Return the mixture to the dutch oven.
• 4. Add sour cream to dutch oven and add salt/pepper to taste.
• 5. Heat soup gently until hot. Add soup to serving bowls and garnish with tarragon. Serve with some nice crusty bread, if desired.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, porcini mushrooms, tarragon, thyme, and bay leaf; sauté 10 minutes or until onions are lightly browned.
• Add garlic, and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add wine, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, button mushrooms, and cremini mushrooms. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Place bread in a food processor; pulse 5 times or until crumbly. Add the breadcrumbs, water, and bouillon cube. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
• Place about 2 1/2 cups mushroom mixture in a blender; process until smooth. Pour pureed soup into a large bowl.
• Repeat procedure with remaining mushroom mixture, 2 1/2 cups at a time. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and half-and-half. Top each serving with 1 teaspoon chives.

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in pan.
• Add the onions and sauté until they are transparent.
• Add the seasonings and stir for one minute.
• Add the mushrooms and 1/4 cup water.
• Sauté until mushrooms are done; about 7-8 minutes. Turn off heat, put lid on pan and let set for about 10-minutes to develop the mushroom flavor.
• Add the cream and simmer on LOW for about 8-minutes. DO NOT BOIL.
• Adjust salt and pepper.
• Serve in two bowls with a dollop of sour cream on top.

Steps:

• Place a large pot over medium-low heat. Add butter and melt to coat the bottom of the pot. Add celery and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent and celery is softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Keep the heat low enough so that the butter does not burn and onion does not brown or caramelize. Add garlic; cook and stir until aromatic, about 1 minute. Stir in salt, white pepper, tarragon, and cayenne.
• Meanwhile, place a medium pot over very low heat. Add milk and chicken broth and allow to warm slowly. Do not allow to boil or scald.
• Stir flour into the vegetable mixture until no dry flour remains. Pour in all but 1 cup of the warm liquid and bring to a low simmer.
• Whisk cornstarch into the remaining cup of liquid until there are no lumps. Add the cornstarch mixture to the vegetables. Stir in sherry. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat until warm throughout and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Blend half of the soup in the bowl of a food processor or blender, then add back into the pot and serve.
