Mushroom Bisque Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mushrooms

   Clean the fresh mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Slice the mushrooms and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Onions and Garlic

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Cook the Mushrooms

   Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they release their moisture and become tender.

4. 4

   Deglaze with Sherry

   Pour in the sherry wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Allow the sherry to simmer for about 3-4 minutes until it reduces slightly.

5. 5

   Add Broth and Simmer

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

6. 6

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender. Be cautious with the hot liquid.

7. 7

   Add Cream and Season

   Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Let the bisque simmer for another 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Finish with Creme Fraiche

   Remove the bisque from heat and stir in the crème fraîche until fully incorporated.

9. 9

   Garnish and Serve

   Ladle the mushroom bisque into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot.
