    CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP with Havarti cheese

    This cream of mushroom soup is the appetizer I prefer at the moment! I love to prepare this smooth and delicious cream with Shiitake and Cremini mushroom, but it will be tasty with your preferred mushrooms as well. Havarti cheese and mint give a particular taste, rich and fresh at the same time!

    CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP with Havarti cheese

    • 5 Lb (780 g) Cremini mushrooms
    • 1 Lb (450 g) Shiitake mushrooms
    • 5 oz (140 g) shallots
    • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
    • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 sprig fresh sage
    • 2 cloves
    • 1 tbsp fresh mint, minced
    • 1 tbsp whole coriander seeds (alternatively, 1 tsp ground coriander seeds)
    • 4 tbsp Havarti cheese, grated
    • 1 stick lemongrass
    • 5 cups vegetable broth
    • 1 cup half and half
    • 1 tsp black pepper
    • to taste table salt

    CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP with Havarti cheese

    CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS

    First of all, peel the shallots and reduce them into slices, then place a thick-bottomed heavy pot or pan over medium heat. When the pot is hot, pour 2 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil, and let them melt. After that, add into the oil and butter mixture the shallots along with crushed coriander seeds, and 1 sprig of fresh sage, and the stick of lemongrass, and 2 cloves. Cook slowly until caramelized, stirring occasionally.

    CLEAN THE MUSHROOM

    Meanwhile, the shallots are caramelizing, clean the Shiitake and Cremini mushroom discarding the stems and brushing the caps. If the caps are particularly dirty, rinse them quickly under running water, then dry with paper towels.

    SAUTEED MUSHROOM

    Now, cut the mushroom into pieces, then melt 3 tbsp of butter into a pan. Eventually, saute the mushroom in the butter until golden brown. To saute correctly the mushroom you won’t overfill the pan. If you pan is not big enough, I suggest you cook the mushroom in two different pans.

    When the mushroom and shallots are ready, combine them and stir fry a few minutes into the thick bottomed heavy pot. Meanwhile, pour the vegetable broth into the pan used to saute the mushroom and heat until it starts to simmer. Finally, pour the broth into the pot along with shallots and mushrooms, then let gently simmering covered 1 hour.

Finish the soup adding minced fresh mint and grated Havarti, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve hot with bread crostini or boiled potatoes aside.
