There were sooooo many of
her recipes that I wanted to try: Potato Spinach Lasagna, Sweet Potato Gratin,
Pasta with Pumpkin Cream Sauce, and so many more. But I ended up making her
Cream of Mushroom Soup. It was, as promised, delicious, simple, and quick! I
made a few changes - swapping fennel in place of garlic, using chicken broth
instead of veggie broth, skipping the sherry, adding a splash of white wine,
and substituting heavy cream for
half-and-half.
Cream of Mushroom Soup
inspired by Dancing
Veggies
1 onion, chopped
1 fennel bulb, trimmed
and diced
2 C crimini mushrooms,
diced
3 T white whole wheat
flour
4 C organic chicken broth
1 C white wine
1 C organic heavy cream
freshly ground sea salt
freshly ground pepper
fresh herbs for garnish
Heat olive oil in a large
soup pan. Add the onion and fennel and
cook until soft; add the mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour
in the broth and season to taste with herbs, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring, then turn heat
down and simmer covered for 10 minutes.
Pour soup into blender (or use hand immersion blender) and mix
well. Return the soup to the pan keeping
over med-low heat and add the cream.
Simmer for 10 minutes and serve hot.
Like Amanda, I served
mine topped with some bread on the side; I skipped the sour cream. One of the best things about this soup is
that it tastes like it was cooking all day but only takes about 40 minutes till
it’s on the table. Delicious!
Sounds like a delicious soup.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious and I'll bet that your addition of fennel gave some wonderful flavor.
