Low in calories and packed with flavor, this wild mushroom soup is delicious made with any of the wild mushroom varieties found in specialty grocers and at farmers markets.

Ingredients

  • 1½ oz. dried porcini mushrooms (about ½ cup)
  • 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster, and/or cremini, sliced (3 cups)
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions

  • Place porcini mushrooms in a large heatproof bowl; cover with 4 cups boiling water. Let mushrooms soak 30 minutes; drain, reserving the soaking liquid. (You should have 3 to 3½ cups liquid.) Chop the porcini mushrooms.
  • In a medium saucepan combine fresh mushrooms, onion, and garlic; cover and cook over medium 10 minutes or until mushrooms have released their liquid and onion is tender.
  • Add chopped porcini mushrooms. Cook until any liquid has evaporated, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in oat flour until mushrooms are thoroughly coated. Add reserved porcini-soaking liquid, the rosemary, and pepper. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until soup has thickened.
  • Just before serving, stir in milk and lemon juice. Season with salt. If you like, serve with lemon wedges and garnish with additional fresh rosemary.
