Ingredients

  • 1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms about 1/2 cup
  • 4 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil plus more for frying bread
  • 1 pound crimini baby portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 4 shallots chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • Good-quality white peasant or Italian bread, sliced
  • 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley finely chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

Instructions

  • In a medium size pot, simmer the porcini mushrooms in the stock to soften, about 10 minutes.
  • In a soup pot, heat 1/4 cup Olive oil over medium-high heat. When the Olive oil begins to ripple, add the crimini mushrooms and cook until lightly browned and tender, 12-15 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, bay leaf and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Stir until the shallots soften, 2-3 minutes. Add the marsala, scraping the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced by half.
  • Remove the porcini mushrooms from the stock; chop, then add to the pot. Pour the porcini stock into the soup pot, being careful not to add the last few spoonfuls where grit may have settled. Add 2 cups water to the pot, then let simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes, and season.
  • In a skillet, heat a thin layer of Olive oil over medium. Add the bread and cook until light golden and crisp.
  • Before serving, stir the parsley and lemon juice into the soup. Place a piece of fried bread in each soup bowl, sprinkle with a little cheese and top with soup.

The success of this simple soup depends on using the freshest watercress available. Choose the full-grown, thick-stemmed variety; it has more of the green's characteristic bold, peppery flavor.

      Adding the marsala wine adds a greatr additional flavor to the soup. And the fact that the alcohol burns off as the cook coups is a win win for me! Enjoy your week.

      I use my crock pot all year. Especially in the summer so as not to heat the kitchen. We do grill a lot too. And crock pot is great to throw in your ingredients and let it cook all day when you are working. We eat soup all the time as an appetizer sort of thing. So are we weird?? LOL. Enjoy.

    I always put a drop of marsala wine when I saute fresh mushrooms and adding a bit more to mushroom soup sounds fabulous, Marilyn!
