HOMEMADE CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat. When shimmering, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes, until starting to soften.
• stirring occasionally, for about 6-8 minutes, until most of the liquid released from the mushrooms has evaporated and the mushrooms begin to stick to the bottom of the pan.
• , and cook for another minute or so, stirring frequently.
• with coconut aminos (or tamari) and scrape up any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Bring soup to a simmer and cook for about 10-12 minutes - until slightly reduced.
• Add the cashews to the blender along with about 2 cups of the soup, being mindful of how many mushrooms you leave behind (the more mushrooms you blend with the cashews, the more broth based the soup will be. If you want a chunky, mushroom filled soup try to only use the broth to blend with the cashews). Carefully blend on high with a towel over the top of your blender (to reduce hot splatters) until smooth and creamy.
• and bring back to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another few minutes to thicken. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Soak the dried mushrooms in 5 cups very hot water until soft, anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. When they are tender, remove mushrooms from the soaking liquid with a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid; slice or chop if the pieces are large.
• Meanwhile, put the butter in a large pot that can later be covered over medium heat. When it melts, add the herb, onions and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to medium high, and add the fresh mushrooms; add the soaked mushrooms when they're ready. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until the mushrooms have given off their liquid and begun to brown, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the sherry or Madeira to the pot and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom as the liquor starts to bubble. Add the stock or soaking liquid and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a steady simmer and cook, covered, until flavors have melded, about 15 minutes.
• Discard the herb. Reduce the heat to low, and purée the liquid with a hand-held mixer to desired consistency. (I like it half-puréed.) Add the cream if you're using it; stir to combine and let simmer for a few minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning; garnish with parsley and serve.
