***RECIPE, MAKES 4 DINNER-SIZE PORTIONS***
1 lb (454g) fresh mushrooms (cremini would be a safe bet)
1 oz (30g) dried mushroom (porcini would be a safe bet)
1 onion
1 cup (237mL) brandy (or whiskey, or white wine, or replace with water and give the soup of splash of vinegar to taste at the end)
4 cups (946mL) water
1 cup (237mL) cream (could use coconut cream instead
3-4 garlic cloves
1/4 cup (30g) flour
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (could use soy sauce or yeast extract instead)
salt
pepper
olive oil
butter (could use more oil instead)
fresh herbs for garnish (I like tarragon and/or thyme and/or parsley)
If you are bothered by the bits of sand sometimes found on dry mushrooms, start by bringing the four cups of water to a boil, take them off the heat, stir in the dry mushrooms and let them steep for half an hour. Pass the resulting mushroom stock through a sieve with a coffee filter in it to get the sand out. Briefly rinse the rehydrated mushroom chunks. If you don't care about the sand, never mind.
Peel and roughly chop the onion. Heat a film of olive oil in a deep pan/pot and sauté the onion 5-10 minutes until it's starting to go soft and brown. Melt in a couple tablespoons of butter (or more olive oil) and stir in the flour to make a roux. Fry the roux a few minutes until it's starting to go brown and smell nutty.
Deglaze the pan with 3/4 of the brandy (reserve the rest for later) — be sure to turn off the heat first if you're using a gas stove (learn from my mistakes in the video). Gradually stir in the water (which may already be mushroom stock, if you did the sand-removing procedure) until smooth. Stir in the dried mushrooms, the Worcestershire sauce, grind in some pepper, cover and let simmer for at least a half hour (an hour is better).
Meanwhile, wash your fresh mushrooms, trim off any woody bits of stem they have and slice them thin. Heat a thick film of olive oil and melted butter (or just use oil) in a wide pan, stir in the mushrooms and give them a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
Stir the mushrooms until they release a ton of water and start simmering. At that point, you have a few minutes in which you can peel and mince the garlic. Once the water boils out of the mushrooms, you'll need to stir constantly to keep them from burning. Fry them until they've shrunk a lot and are brown. Stir in the garlic and fry it for a few minutes. Deglaze with the remaining brandy (again, off the heat if you're using gas), take if off the heat and reserve until the soup base is done.
When the soup base is done simmering, puree it until smooth. If you want to be extra fancy, pass it through a sieve and discard the fibers. Stir in the fresh mushroom mixture and 3/4 of the cream (you might not want all of it). Gently boil the soup for a few minutes until the cream thickens a bit. Taste and adjust seasoning — it'll probably need more salt. If you didn't use any alcohol, remember to give it a splash of vinegar to taste now. Add more cream if it needs it, and/or reserve the remaining cream for garnish.
Serve the soup hot in bowls, maybe drizzle a little cream on top just for pretty, and maybe let everybody garnish with their choice of fresh herbs at the table.

The best WILD MUSHROOM SOUP | Vegetarian goodness!
#weekendatthecottage #easydeliciousrecipes #mushroomsoup
RECIPE & INSTRUCTIONS BELOW!
Here’s how we make WILD MUSHROOM SOUP:
GO WILD
Thinking about how to build a pronounced wild mushroom flavour in this soup, I was reminded of a time a friend showed me how to make mushroom risotto. I was amazed that he used dried mushrooms, as I had never heard of such a thing. Now though, I often use dried mushrooms for everything from soups and sauces to stews and pasta dishes.
Dried mushrooms are also helpful when you’re up in cottage country and fresh wild mushrooms aren’t around. Look for packages of dried wild mushrooms at your local grocery store. I chose morels and chanterelle for this recipe, but you can use your favourites too.
FIND FRESH
Although fresh wild mushrooms aren’t available everywhere, I’ve found a few stores do carry them year round. Best to call ahead before you head out and aimlessly forage through the stores. The fresh wild mushrooms are especially important in this recipe as they deliver both flavour and texture. We also love the way they look; every spoon of soup is visually different and interesting.
Similar to our use of dry mushrooms, don’t limit yourself to certain types remembering the world’s your oyster mushroom! I used maitake, shiitake, oysters and king oysters for this post, but enoki, hedgehog, hen-of-the-woods and many more will work perfectly in this mix too!
BROTH
Although we could have made this soup by simply adding water to the pot, we wanted to bump up the flavour, so we made a mushroom broth for it instead. Although this broth requires time and effort, I’m here to tell you that it’s so worth it. We now know much of the rich flavour of this soup comes from the broth.
SOUP
So, just so we’re all stirring the same pot - first, we created a fantastically flavourful broth using dried wild mushrooms, then we found, sliced and chopped four of our favourite wild mushroom varieties. Now we bring everything together finishing this soup with a dry white wine and just enough cream to make it luxuriously rich and wonderful.
TIME TO SERVE
When you’re ready to enjoy this WILD MUSHROOM SOUP and serve it to your family and friends, why not take a few extra moments with presentation? This soup welcomes a few of these HOMEMADE CROUTONS, which are so easy to make. We also like it with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or chives and maybe a sprinkle of black pepper.
An exceptionally delicious WILD MUSHROOM SOUP can be yours! Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
For the mushroom broth:
1 package of dried chanterelle mushrooms
1 package of dried morel mushrooms
5 cups of water
8 ounces of cremini mushrooms
8 ounces of white mushrooms
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of butter
1 small white onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 cup of chopped celery
1 cup of chopped carrots
a sprinkle of salt and pepper
a few sprigs of fresh thyme
For the wild mushroom soup:
4 tablespoons of butter
2 leeks, thinly sliced
1/2 a large white onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
8 cups of assorted wild mushrooms, chopped and thinly sliced
a sprinkle of salt and pepper
3/4 of a cup of unbleached all-purpose flour
mushroom broth (see above)
1/2 cup of white wine
1 1/2 cups of 18% cream
To serve:
1/4 cup of chopped parsley
homemade croutons
salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
To make the mushroom broth:
Place dried mushrooms into small bowls and fill with boiling water. Let mushrooms steep for 20 minutes. Strain, adding the liquid to a measure containing the 5 cups of water.
Place the soaked mushrooms into a food processor fitted with a blade attachment along with the cremini and white mushrooms. Pulse to finely chop. Transfer chopped mushrooms to a bowl.
Place butter and oil into a large soup pot on medium-high heat. When the butter melts and everything starts bubbling, add the onion, garlic, celery and carrots. Stir, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
Add the chopped mushrooms, the mushroom-steeping liquid and a few sprigs of thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
When the broth is cooked, strain and reserve the liquid for the soup.
Make the wild mushroom soup:
Place large soup pot on stovetop set on medium-high heat. Add the butter. When the butter has melted and is bubbling, add the leeks, onion and garlic. Stir, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until soft and translucent.
Add the wild mushrooms, stir, cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and flour and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the mushroom broth and stir to combine. Add the white wine and cook until the soup thickens.
Add the cream, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add chopped parsley plus salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with more parsley and serve with homemade croutons.
