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:
- 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.
- For the soup:
- 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.
- Using the same pot, add a little more olive oil and saute the sliced shallots until tender.
- Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
- Season with a little kosher salt, pepper and dried thyme.
- Add the flour, stir and cook for about one minute.
- Return the mushrooms to the cooked shallots, add tomato paste and about 1 cup of the chicken stock. Stir to combine.
- All the remaining chicken stock and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- 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!
- Puree to your liking-- I leave small chunks of mushroom.
- Add the heavy cream/half & half.
- Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche and the crispy shallots on top.
