Savory Mushroom Soup

Yields8 Servings

Savory Mushroom Soup

 1 ounce dried mushrooms (oyster, porcini, morels, shiitakes, or a medley)
 1½ tablespoons olive oil
 pinch of dried thyme
 ½ teaspoon dried sage
 1 large yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
 3 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
 ½ teaspoon salt
 ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
 2 pounds fresh mushrooms (crimini, white, or shitake), cleaned and thinly sliced
 6 cups beef or vegetable broth, low-sodium
 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
1

Wash hands with soap and warm water.

2

Soak the dry mushrooms in 1 cup of boiling water for 20 to 30 minutes, until plump.

3

Strain the soaking liquid through a fine strainer to remove grit. Set aside liquid and the rehydrated mushrooms.

4

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over a medium flame. Add the thyme, sage, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and cook for about 5-7 minutes; until the onion is soft and translucent.

5

Turn the flame to high. Add the fresh mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Mushrooms will release liquid, most of which will cook off.)

6

Add the stock, rehydrated mushrooms and mushroom soaking water. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 30 minutes with vented lid.

7

Stir in butter if using.

8

Serve warm and enjoy!
