Wild mushroom soup
Everyone loves a delicious mushroom soup, but most are filled with cream and butter. This soup gets its flavor from mixed mushrooms and evaporated milk.
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 8 cups chopped mixed wild mushrooms (about 1 1/3 lb)
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tsp finely chopped garlic
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 4 cups chicken (or vegetable) stock
  • 1 cup peeled and diced potato
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup canned evaporated milk (2%)
  • 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 Tbsp chopped parsley
  1. In a large, nonstick pot lightly coated with cooking spray add 1 tsp of the oil and the mush¬rooms. Sauté for 15 minutes on medium-high heat or until the mushrooms are no longer wet. Remove and save 1/2 cup for garnish. Add the remaining oil to the pan.
  2. Add the onions and garlic and sauté on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the carrots and sauté for 3 minutes. Add all but 2 cup of the cooked mushrooms and the stock, potato, rosemary, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potato is tender.
  3. Purée in a food processor until smooth. Pour back into the saucepan and add the milk, Parmesan and the remaining cooked mushrooms and heat gently and serve.
