Two Ingredient Creamy Mushroom Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the broth and 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepot. Remove from the heat, add the dried mushrooms and set aside to steep for about 20 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms and reserve the broth. Roughly chop the mushrooms.
• Heat the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, white mushrooms and three-quarters of the chopped porcini and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and mostly dry, about 6 minutes. Add the thyme, shallot and leek and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
• Strain the reserved mushroom broth into the pot and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Add the bay leaf, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
• Remove and discard the bay leaf. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and carefully puree until smooth, taking care not to fill the carafe more than half full per batch. Strain the soup, return to the pot and reheat over medium heat.
• Whisk in the cream, sherry, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with the remaining chopped porcini mushrooms and the parsley.

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:

• Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms in butter with 1 pinch salt until the mushrooms give off their juices; reduce heat to low.

Mix onion into mushrooms and cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 more minutes.
• Stir flour into mushroom mixture and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Tie thyme sprigs into a small bundle with kitchen twine and add to mushroom mixture; add garlic cloves. Pour chicken stock and water into mushroom mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Remove thyme bundle.
• Transfer soup to a blender in small batches and puree on high speed until smooth and thick.

• Add the flour/water mixture and stir constantly until the mixture thickens. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Finally, add milk and heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Turn heat off.

• Melt the butter in a heavy-based pan and cook the spring onion, garlic and lemon thyme, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the garlic is golden. Add the mushroom and salt and white pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the mushroom just softens. Add flour and cook, stirring for 1 minute.
• Remove from the heat and add the stock, stirring continuously. Return to the heat and bring to the boil, stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Whisk the cream into the soup, then reheat gently, stirring. Do not allow the soup to boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish with the chopped chives and thyme.
