Subj : St. Isabel 05 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Fri Jun 25 2021 15:03:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Isabel Allende's Reconciliation Soup Categories: Soups, Mushrooms, Wine, Dairy Yield: 2 Servings 1/2 c Chopped portobello - mushrooms 1/2 c Chopped fresh porcini - mushrooms 1 c Cremini mushrooms 1 cl Garlic 3 tb Olive oil 2 c Stock 1/4 c Port 1 tb Truffle-flavored olive oil Salt & pepper 2 tb Sour cream If you can't find fresh mushrooms and must use the dried ones, soak them in 1/2 cup of good red wine until they spring up happily; in the meantime, while they're soaking, calmly drink the remainder of the wine. Mince the garlic clove then saute it with the mushrooms in the olive oil, stirring vigorously for a few minutes. Add the stock, the port and the truffled olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over low heat with the lid on until the mushrooms are soft and the house smells like heaven. The last step is to process the soup in the blender; this is the least poetic part of the preparation but unavoidable. The soup should end up with a slightly thick texture, like mud, with a perfume that makes you salivate and awakens other secretions of body and soul. Serve the soup in warmed bowls, garnished with a dollop of the sour cream. RECIPE FROM: http://www.madaboutmushrooms.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
