1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster), sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • Chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives), for garnish

    • Preparation:

    1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
    2. Add the Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 10 minutes.
    3. Create the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the flour is lightly browned.
    4. Build the Broth: Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth, heavy cream, and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until thickened.
    5. Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.

    Total Time: 45-50 minutes

    Serving Ideas:

    Elegant Appetizer: Serve the soup in small, elegant bowls, garnished with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprinkle of truffle oil.

  • Hearty Main Course: Pair the soup with a grilled cheese sandwich or a crusty baguette.
  • Comforting Side Dish: Serve alongside a roasted chicken or a hearty stew.

    • Cultural Influences:

    The Souplantation Mushroom Symphony is a testament to the global culinary exchange that has shaped our modern cuisine. It draws inspiration from various traditions, including:

    European: The rich and creamy base of the soup is reminiscent of classic French and Italian soups.

  • Asian: The umami-rich mushrooms and the use of soy sauce (optional) add an Asian flair.
  • American: The hearty and comforting nature of the soup is a quintessential American comfort food.

    • By blending these diverse influences, we create a dish that is both familiar and exotic, a symphony of flavors that delights the palate and warms the soul.
