Cream Of Mushroom / Pancetta Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Cook Pancetta

   In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Mushrooms

   Add the chopped mushrooms to the pot and cook until they are softened and browned, around 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Make Roux

   Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Broth

   Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.

6. 6

   Blend and Add Cream

   Once the soup has thickened, use an immersion blender to puree until smooth (or blend in batches). Stir in the heavy cream and return to heat.

7. 7

   Season and Serve

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with crispy pancetta and chopped parsley.
