Caldo De Hongos Y Huitlacoche Mushroom Huitlacoche Soup Recipes

Huitlacoche [wee-tlah-KOH-cheh] AKA Mexican Corn Truffle is a fungus which grows naturally on ears of corn. The fungus is harvested and treated as a delicacy. In Mexican homes, cooks traditionally use white mushrooms for this soup, but it is also delicious with other varieties or a combination of mushrooms. Recipe from Iliana de la Vega as published in the Houston Chronicle.

This is a delicious, very simple soup with great flavors. It is largely broth/water-based with some easy ingredients to add flavor. You can decrease the amount of jalapeno if you'd prefer it to be a bit milder (or remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos). I received this from a friend at my bridal shower. This is the basic recipe, but you could always add more to the soup if you wanted to make it heartier or use it as an entree - another 1 lb of mushrooms works well, or some shredded chicken, beans, etc.
