Zuppa Di Funghi Siciliana Sicilian Mushroom Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Crush the garlic with a knife blade, and saute over medium heat in the olive oil until garlic starts to brown. Add the mushrooms, and stir until they are well coated. Saute, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their liquid and start to brown. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms, stir well, and cook an additional 5 minutes.
• In a separate pot, add thyme to the chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Pour over the mushrooms and stir well. Reduce heat to low, and let the soup simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Just before serving, add pepper and salt if desired.

Steps:

• Place stock in a heavy-bottomed soup kettle, and bring to a slow simmer over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, over medium-high heat, melt butter in olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan. When foam has subsided, add garlic and chopped onion. Saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is transparent, about 1 minute.
• Add fresh mushrooms, and saute, stirring frequently, until mushroom liquid has evaporated and slices begin to brown. Add to simmering stock, together with tomatoes, salt and pepper. Simmer very gently, uncovered, until flavors are well blended, approximately 30 minutes.
• Just before serving, stir parsley into soup. Beat eggs with fork in a small bowl until blended. Add beaten eggs slowly to simmering soup, beating constantly with a long-handled fork. Eggs will spin out in threads.
• To serve, place a piece of toasted bread in each of four soup plates. Ladle hot soup over bread slices. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and serve immediately, accompanied by grated cheese.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a soup pot; add in onion; cook until soft.
• Add in the garlic and mushrooms; stir/saute until mushrooms are nearly tender.
• Add in the Marsala; deglaze the pan over high heat.
• Add in the tomato paste and parsley; stir to mix tomato paste into the mushrooms; cook 1-2 minutes.
• Add in the beef broth; bring to a simmer.
• Cook for 30 minutes; taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Place a large crostini in individual bowls and pour the soup over them; serve with sprinkled parmesan cheese.
