Mushroom Soup With Port Recipes

BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place sliced onion pieces on the bottom of a glass baking dish. Lay pork chops over the onions. Cover chops evenly with cream of mushroom soup. Add water and bouillon to the top, breaking up bouillon cubes to get the flavor spread out. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring the gravy once or twice, until no longer pink in the centers, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

WILD MUSHROOM SOUP WITH PORT WINE

Steps:

• 1. Soak dried wild mushrooms in hot vegetable stock for an hour. Strain, save liquid and chop mushrooms.
• 2. Saute shallots in butter until translucent. Add all the mushrooms, both fresh and wild. Cook until very little liquid remains.
• 3. Add port wine and reduce liquid again until most of the liquid is gone. Add in 1/2 cup of flour. Stir well to avoid lumps. Add saved mushroom liquid, cook for 1/2 hour at low simmer.
• 4. Add in light and heavy creams, bring just to a boil then turn to low and simmer for 1/2 an hour. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and enjoy.

• Raise heat to medium, stir in the flour, and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the thyme, bay leaf, broth, salt, sugar, and pepper.

• Cool the soup slightly; discard the bay leaf; then puree the soup in batches in a blender or food processor.
• Return the pureed soup to the pan and add the cream.
• Cook over low heat until just heated through, but do not boil.
• Adjust seasonings if necessary, and serve garnished with parsley.
