i had a taste of mushroom soup
a couple of nights ago
after my shift at Hawks

which inspired me to create this mushroom soup,
recipe compliments of Matt Gandin
during my days at Delfina

not to mention the myriad of funghi
popping up all over the woods here
the past week or two

'tis the season.

Gandin's Chanterelle Mushroom Soup

3 yellow onions, julienned
5 cloves garlic, smashed
1 bay leaf
2 cups extra virgin olive oil
5 thyme sprigs, stems removed
3 lbs chanterelles, or a mix of chanterelles and cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 c sherry
1 large yukon gold potato, diced
water
salt to taste
creme fraiche, for garnish
chives, for garnish

Combine onions, garlic, bay, olive oil, and thyme in large soup pot. Cover and let sweat until soft, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms. Cook off the liquid released from mushrooms. Add sherry and cook out. Add potato, and fill pot with water (or a combination of water and stock) to just above the top of the vegetables. Simmer until potatoes are tender. Puree in blender and pour through a sieve. Add salt to taste. Garnish with creme fraiche and finely diced chives, or fried sage leaves.
