Nothing is better for a snowy evening than a hearty bowl of soup, and this oyster mushroom recipe makes for a tasty spin on the typical beef stew (and takes a lot less time to make, too!)
Your favorite white wine and a slice of fresh sourdough pairs best with this one…
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 ribs celery, sliced
½ lb oyster mushrooms (pearl, blue, pink, or golden), roughly chopped
2 lbs gold potatoes, peeled and diced (about 4 medium potatoes)
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup white wine
½ cup heavy cream
Chopped celery leaves or fresh parsley for garnish
Additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired
Makes 4-6 Servings.
HOW TO MAKE A MIND BLOWING DISH
- Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large soup pot. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until it begins to soften and brown. Add the celery and cook about 3 more minutes until it softens slightly.
- Use a splash of the white wine to deglaze your pan, then stir in the mushrooms and continue to cook until they darken and shrink, about 3 more minutes. Add the potatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Stir in the flour to coat all the ingredients.
- Pour in the stock and the rest of the wine and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the cream. Add additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Remove from the heat and serve garnished with chopped celery leaves or fresh parsley.
