PROGRESSO MUSHROOM SOUP RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• In 4-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add celery, carrot and onions; cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
• Stir in flour, salt, pepper and thyme; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in broth and wild rice. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in half-and-half; heat just to a simmer (do not boil). Top with almonds and parsley.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot (like a Dutch oven) over medium heat. Add the onions, carrot, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring occasionally until they are softened and starting to smell sweet, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and turmeric and cook for 30 seconds.
• Stir in the lentils and broth. Increase the heat to high and bring just to a boil. Taste then adjust with salt (we add between 1/2 and 1 teaspoon depending on how well seasoned the broth is). Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until the lentils are tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Uncover the pot and stir in the kale (or spinach) and cook, uncovered, another 5 minutes. Take the soup off of the heat, and then stir in the juice of half a lemon and the fresh herbs. Taste the soup, and then season with additional salt and/or lemon juice. (I like quite a bit of lemon.)
• Serve or if you prefer the soup to be blended, use an immersion blender to blend until your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can use a stand blender to blend all or part of the soup. For even more lemon flavor, serve with a few lemon slices.
