Cream of Portobello Mushroom Soup with Puff Pastry Tops Recipe adapted from Gourmet Magazine


Show: Sara's Secrets


Episode: Spectacular Serving

















2 tablespoons unsalted butter


2 onions, chopped


1 1/2 pounds portobello mushrooms, stemmed


Kosher salt and pepper


3 cups chicken broth


1 cup heavy cream


2 to 3 tablespoons medium-dry Sherry, or to taste


1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives


1 (17 1/4-ounce) package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed


1 large egg, beaten





Quarter and thinly slice the mushrooms. Heat the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and any liquid mushrooms give off has evaporated. Add broth and cream and simmer 15 minutes. In a blender, puree half of mixture (use caution when blending hot liquids). Stir puree and Sherry into the soup remaining in pan. Heat soup until hot, season with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool.


Divide the soup among 4 (1 1/2- to 2-cup) deep, oven-safe bowls about 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and stir some of the chives into each.


Using a pizza cutter, cut out discs from the puff pastry about 1/2-inch larger in diameter than the width of the soup bowls. Brush the inner edges of the pastry disks with some of the beaten egg. Invert the pastry discs (egg washed-side down) over the soup bowls and press the edges onto the sides to seal. Brush the tops with some of the beaten egg. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to a day in advance.


When ready to serve: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the soup bowls on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, puffed, and steaming, about 30 minutes. Serve.

Episode: Mystery Guest




















5 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms


5 ounces fresh portobello mushrooms


5 ounces fresh cremini (or porcini) mushrooms


1 tablespoon good olive oil


1/4 pound (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided


1 cup chopped yellow onion


1 carrot, chopped


1 sprig fresh thyme plus 1 teaspoon minced thyme leaves, divided


Kosher salt


Freshly ground black pepper


2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts (2 leeks)


1/4 cup all-purpose flour


1 cup dry white wine


1 cup half-and-half


1 cup heavy cream


1/2 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley





Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a dry paper towel. Don't wash them! Separate the stems, trim off any bad parts, and coarsely chop the stems. Slice the mushroom caps 1/4-inch thick and, if there are big, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.


To make the stock, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot. Add the chopped mushroom stems, the onion, carrot, the sprig of thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add 6 cups water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Strain, reserving the liquid. You should have about 4 1/2 cups of stock. If not, add some water.





Meanwhile, in another large pot, heat the remaining 1/4 pound of butter and add the leeks. Cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the leeks begin to brown. Add the sliced mushroom caps and cook for 10 minutes, or until they are browned and tender. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine and stir for another minute, scraping the bottom of the pot. Add the mushroom stock, minced thyme leaves, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the half-and-half, cream, and parsley, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and heat through but do not boil. Serve hot.








Seems like maybe too much work just to have soup though...

1 can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup


2 Tbsp Margarine


1 Box of Chicken Flavor Rice A Roni


1 boiled chicken breast





Boil meat till done, set aside.


Follow instructions on the Rice A Roni box exactly.


When meat has cooled, pull it from the bone and chop.


Mix Rice A Roni, Mushroom Soup and chicken in a pyrex dish. Top it with cheese. Pop it in the oven on 350 for about 10 minutes, check it to make sure the cheese has started to become bubbled.





Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving, it is hot! Serves 4 hungry people!
