Excellent. And flexible. Sautéing the soup side of the mushrooms before adding broth adds richness to the puréed portion. I’ve taken to increasing the proportion of mushrooms in relation to broth— a pound and a half of mushrooms for about 6 cups of broth. A good blender does not need straining, or the mess that it entails. 30 seconds in a Vitamix on high will make for a consistent, creamy base. I’ve also taken to adding the sautéed mushroom caps, scallions, etc. to the top of the soup once plated. There is a pleasure in choosing what will be included in each bite, and seeing the mix of additions is a much more appealing presentation than burying it in the brown mush. If you do this, leave fewer mushrooms out of the blender, and quarter them… Only needs about four per bowl.
Okay, this was terrific, we used 1/2 pound white mushrooms, 1lb baby portabelka and it rocked. We used Penzey’s seasoning salt and pepper, a small bulb of garlic instead of just three cloves. It was hearty and rich tasting, deep mushroom flavors, thank you! We’re glad we tried this!!!
