![]() Voila ! Antoine's Cream Of Mushroom Soup ================================ 4 Tablespoons Butter 20 Medium Mushrooms; sliced 1/4 Cup Sherry 3 Cups Chicken stock 2 Cups Heavy cream 3/4 Cup Sherry Salt and pepper (to taste) Chicken-Hazelnut Quenelles 2 Tablespoons Hazelnuts; skins removed, and chopped . To roast the hazelnuts you should place them on a sheet pan and put them in a 400øF oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the outside skin starts to break away. Rub the hazelnuts together so that the outer dark skins flake off. You do not want to toast them, you just want the skin to loosen up. In a large skillet place the butter and heat it on medium high until it has melted. Add the mushrooms and saut‚ them for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are brown. Add the 1/4 cup of sherry and deglaze the pan. Add the chicken stock. Cook the ingredients on medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by 1/2. In a small saucepan place the 3/4 cup of sherry. Cook it on medium high heat for 4 to 6 minutes, or until it is reduced by 3/4. Add the reduced sherry, salt, and pepper to soup, and stir them in. In each of 4 individual serving bowls place 3 of the Chicken-Hazelnut Quenelles. Ladle the soup on top. Sprinkle on the hazelnuts.

Melt the butter in a pot and add the onion and mushrooms. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with the flour and cook for a few minutes more. Slowly add the stock, and heat, stirring, until it reaches the boiling point. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the cream and season to taste. Reheat before serving. COLD MUSHROOM SOUP: Use an additional 1/4 cup of heavy cream and chill. Adjust the salt and serve in cold soup bowls with chives sprinkled on top. From the new version of Fannie Farmers Cookbook by Marion Cunningham. Cream Of Mushroom Soup ====================== 1 Pound Mushrooms,rinsed & drained 2 Tablespoons Butter or margarine 1 Large onion,chopped 1/2 Teaspoon Dried thyme leaves 1/4 Cup All-purpose flour 6 Cups Chicken broth,reg-strength 1 Dried bay leaf 1 Cup Whipping cream 3 Tablespoons Dry sherry Salt Pepper . Mushroom soup is so readily available in cans that it seldom occurs to the cook to make it from scratch. The canned product is, in fact, so universal, reliable, and chameleon-like in flavor that it has become the base of a thousand casseroles. If you seek a more intense mushroom flavor, however, look no further. Erid Lie, tooting his own horn, claims to have the answer to your prayers right here. Flour plays a part in the thickening of this soup, but the basic body and emphatic statement of mushroom flavor come from cooking part of the mushrooms with onions until they are mellow and lightly browned, then pureeing them. The flavor is further enhanced by adding sliced mushrooms before the final heating. ================================================== ===== ============== === 1. Chop half the mushrooms; thinly slice the remaining mushrooms and set aside. 2. Melt butter in a 5-6 quart pan over medium-high heat; add chopped mushrooms, onion, and thyme. Stir often until the vegetables are lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Mix flour with vegetables. 3. Pour into a blender or food processor; whirl, adding as much broth as needed to get the mixture smoothly pureed. Pour mixture back into pan; add remaining broth, sliced mushrooms, bay leaf, and cream. 4. Bring soup to a boil on high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer to blend flavors, about 10 minutes. Add sherry, salt, and pepper to taste. Make about 8 cups.
