Black Mushroom Soup Recipes

CHICKEN WITH BLACK MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• In a bowl, cover mushrooms with water and soak for 20 minutes.
• Using a heavy knife, cut the chicken through the bones into 12 to 14 serving-size pieces. Place the chicken in a pot with water to cover.
• Heat until boiling, and cook for 2 minutes. Drain into a colander and run under cold water.
• Remove mushrooms from water, discard stems, and cut large caps into halves.
• Combine the chicken, mushrooms, boiling water, rice wine, ginger and salt in a heavy pot that will fit inside a bigger pot.
• Put several inches of water in the bigger pot, and boil. In the bottom of the bigger pot, place a rack, and put the pot holding the chicken on it.
• Cover both the pot with the soup and the bigger pot and cook over medium heat for one and a half hours. Replenish the bigger pot with more boiling water as it runs low.
• When the soup is cooked, skim the fat, remove ginger, and add salt to taste.

• Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 20 minutes, adding cremini mushrooms in the last 10 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.

MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large saucepan and cook the onions and garlic until soft but not browned, about 8-10 mins.
• Add the mushrooms and cook over a high heat for another 3 mins until softened. Sprinkle over the flour and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken stock, bring the mixture to the boil, then add the bay leaf and simmer for another 10 mins.
• Remove and discard the bay leaf, then remove the mushroom mixture from the heat and blitz using a hand blender until smooth. Gently reheat the soup and stir through the cream (or, you could freeze the soup at this stage - simply stir through the cream when heating). Scatter over the parsley, if you like, and serve.
