Servings: 6

Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

4 cups chicken stock (or you could use mushroom or vegetable stock)

creme fraiche (for garnish)

8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced

2 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh)

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 cup heavy cream or half and half (used a combo of each)

kosher salt & pepper

3 smalls shallots, sliced thin

1 tablespoon tomato paste

Equipment:

paper towels

dutch oven

immersion blender

blender

pot

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. To make crispy shallots, cook in a thin layer of olive oil until golden (not too high of a heat, or they can easily burn). Set aside, on a paper towel.
  2. For the soup:
  3. In a Dutch Oven, heat a little bit of olive oil and butter-- just enough for a thin coating. Cook the mushrooms for about 3-5 minutes, until golden. Set aside.
  4. Using the same pot, add a little more olive oil and saute the sliced shallots until tender.
  5. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
  6. Season with a little kosher salt, pepper and dried thyme.
  7. Add the flour, stir and cook for about one minute.
  8. Return the mushrooms to the cooked shallots, add tomato paste and about 1 cup of the chicken stock. Stir to combine.
  9. All the remaining chicken stock and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  10. Puree the soup in batches, carefully, in a blender. I prefer to use an immersion blender right into the pot, which is so much simpler!
  11. Puree to your liking-- I leave small chunks of mushroom.
  12. Add the heavy cream/half & half.
  13. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche and the crispy shallots on top.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
