Creamless Mushroom Soup Recipes

CREAMLESS MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large soup pot.
• Add carrots, onion, leek, and celery, and cook until tender, but not browned, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the mushrooms and thyme, and cook until mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add stock and salt and pepper to taste and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
• Puree the soup in small batches in a food processor, or with an upright blender. (I often skip this step as I like chunky soups.).
• Adjust seasonings, and serve in bowls with a sprinkle of parsley.

CREAM-LESS MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic and onion and season with pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken stock, bread, vermouth and thyme. Bring to a simmer and simmer for another 20 minutes.
• Transfer the soup to a blender, add 2 to 3 teaspoons sherry vinegar and, with the motor running, drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil for a creamy texture. Season with salt and pepper and more sherry vinegar as needed to balance the richness. Divide the hot soup among bowls and garnish with Tahini Herb Drizzle, fried shallots and chopped dill.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and honey. Season with salt and pepper. If necessary, thin with a few teaspoons of water to achieve the desired consistency.
