Zuppa Di Porcini Porcini Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a pot, heat extra virgin olive oil, butter and throw in sprig of nepitella. Add fresh porcini to the pot and let cook for a minute so that the mushrooms can absorb all the flavours.
• Add a ladle of vegetable broth and allow porcini to cook for another minute or until the broth has been absorbed. Add salt and black pepper to season and pour in the remaining broth. Bring the soup to a boil and then lower the heat. Let simmer for half hour.
• Before plating, add parmigiano cheese and 2 eggs. Stir very well for a minute and serve hot.

Steps:

• Place dried porcini mushrooms into the water and soak for at least one hour. (I personally soaked them over night so they are ready for lunch.) Do NOT drain the water as this will be the bases of your soup.
• Once the mushrooms have reconstituted, melt sweet cream butter in a sauce pan over medium heat.
• Add the diced sweet onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions lose their opacity (but do not allow to brown.).
• Add the reconstituted mushrooms along with the flavored water.
• Place both cubes into the mixture and allow the soup to come to a slight boil.
• Gently add the heavy whipping cream while stirring.
• Bring soup back to a gentle boil.
• Soups on!
