Excellent flavour!!  Easy to make!! So rich tasting!!!  I used a mix of dried wild and cremini.  I would add much more preferably.  I omitted the peas, too.

Wild Mushroom Soup with Parmesan Toasts

  • fast FAST
  • make ahead MAKE-AHEAD
TOTAL TIME: 30 MIN
SERVES: 6
Grace created this recipe almost by accident. When she was cooking dinner for her kids, one of them knocked into her while she was adding a few tablespoons of chicken broth to a pan of sautéed mushrooms. She poured in a lot more broth than she intended to and ended up with a terrific mushroom soup.
ingredients
  • 6 slices bread, cut from a long country or sourdough loaf
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Paprika
  • Wild Mushroom Ragout
  • 1 quart chicken stock or low-sodium broth
  • 1 cup frozen baby peas
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon snipped chives
directions
  1. Preheat the broiler. Lightly brush both sides of each slice of bread with olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Broil for 1 minute, until toasted. Flip the bread, sprinkle with the Parmesan and a pinch of paprika and broil for 1 minute longer, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden and toasted.
  2. Meanwhile, puree 1 cup of the mushroom ragout in a blender until smooth. Transfer the puree to a medium saucepan. Add the remaining mushroom ragout, the chicken stock and peas and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Season the soup with salt and pepper and transfer to shallow bowls. Garnish with the chives and serve with the Parmesan toasts.
