Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
  • 3/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
  • 3/4 ounce dried morel mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 12 ounces assorted wild mushrooms, such as chanterelle, oyster, hedgehog, or shiitake, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 ounces Hon Shimeji mushrooms
  • 1/4 ounce fresh white truffles (optional)

Directions

Bring 2 cups chicken stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Place dried porcini and morel mushrooms in a medium heat-proof bowl. Pour chicken stock over mushrooms; let steep 20 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a plate. Pass soaking liquid through a sieve lined with a double layer of cheesecloth set over a bowl. Reserve liquid.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a medium stockpot set over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add all reserved porcini and morel mushrooms, assorted wild mushrooms, and rosemary and thyme sprigs; season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium high; cook until mushrooms have softened and released their liquid, about 5 minutes.

Add remaining 4 cups chicken stock and reserved mushroom liquid; bring to a boil. Partially cover, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer 30 minutes.

Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Working in batches, transfer the soup to the bowl of a food processor or blender, and puree until smooth.

Return the soup to the stockpot. Add the cream and milk; bring just to a boil. Season with salt and pepper.

In a small skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon butter. Add Hon Shimeji mushrooms, if using; cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 6 minutes.

When ready to serve, divide the soup among 8 soup plates, being sure to distribute the mushrooms evenly. Using a vegetable peeler or a truffle shaver, thinly shave the white truffles over each serving.

      Cook's Notes

Hon Shimeji mushrooms are very small, pure white mushrooms. Enoki or small white button mushrooms can also be used; cut white button mushrooms into quarters before sauteing.
