FFWD: Paris Mushroom Soup

I heart mushrooms. That's right. As cheesy as that sounds, I really do love mushrooms. Love it so much that I have cremini almost every week. Basically I try to incorporate it into anything I make. This week, for example, I made Chicken for Les Parreseux again (for the 3rd time). I roasted some mushrooms (coated with thyme, salt & pepper, and olive oil) to go along with the yummy chicken.

When I make some sort of stew (boeuf bourgignon, tangine, coq au vin) I always added a bunch of mushroom to the pot. Hm.. come to think of it, I have not made Coq Au Vin for a while.

Sorry, I digress. That's what happens when I'm hungry :). 

Let's talk about this dish, shall we?

It's so easy to make. Sautee onions and garlic, add mushrooms, broth (I used vegetable broth), and white wine. Simmer until tender, then puree.


























I don't know about you guys, but I did not think pureed mushroom looks appetizing at all! The color is a bit depressing. And even after adding that big chunk of parsley for the photo, I still don't think it looks good.

But boy, this dish is tasty! Especially if you love mushroom as much as I do. And even if you don't, you should try it anyway. Why not? It's good for you. And at the very least, it will warm you up when it's freezing outside.

  11. I agree with everyone on your bowls! Love them! Sort of compensates for the soup color, not that you could change that, mushrooms are just that color...

  12. Agreed. I keept pureeing and pureeing mine hoping it would emulsify, but eventually gave up and dug in. So tasty.

  13. Your muchroom soup turned out perfect! I am with you for the love of a good mushroom.

    Thank you for your wonderful comments on my post. The braided Challah did not take longer to bake with the two braids together. The braid on top is actually slightly longer then the first and much thinner so thinner braid baked more as an adornment then actually making the loaf larger.
