PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BISQUE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt the butter over medium heat.
• Sweat both the onions in the butter by tossing them in the pan, adding a pinch of salt and pepper, and moving them around until translucent (about 10 minutes).
• Increase heat to medium high and add the portabello mushrooms, sautéing until soft (3-5 minutes).
• Mix sugar and thyme with wine and broth, and pour into the pot. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze.
• Pour the contents of the pot into a food processor, and blend until smooth.
• Put the mixture back into the pot, pour in the heavy cream, and simmer until ready to serve. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Saute the leeks and onions in butter in a large pot over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender; about 2-3 minutes.
• Lower heat, add the mushrooms, and cook about 10 minutes longer, covered, stirring occasionally.
• 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.
• Simmer, partially covered, for about 10 minutes.
• 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.
