A great soup is good any time of year, or in this case a good bisque. What is the difference between a soup and a bisque you ask? A bisque is basically a soup that has been pureed to a smooth consistency. Our Wild Mushroom Bisque was developed in the POTG Test Kitchen by Chef Ann and has a wonderful earthy, meaty flavor. If you like mushrooms, give this one a try!
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 cup white onion, finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 ounces wild mushroom blend (portabellas, shiitakes, oyster, etc.)
- 3 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
- 6 tablespoons arrowroot
- 2 tsp. coconut vinegar
- 8 cups chicken or beef bone broth
- 1 cup coconut cream
- Salt to taste
- Reserved sautéed mushrooms and thyme for garnish
- In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic and mushrooms.
- Let them sauté for 8-10 minutes, or until most of the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.
- Sprinkle thyme leaves into the mushroom mixture, add the vinegar, then whisk in the bone broth. Bring it to a boil, then quickly reduce the heat to low, letting it simmer, and stirring occasionally.
- Simmer the soup for about 15 minutes, or until it is reduced by 1/2.
- Whisk in the coconut cream.
- Dilute the arrowroot in a few tablespoons of water, and whisk into the simmering soup.
- Let simmer until the liquid is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- When it is at proper consistency, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Check the flavor and season with salt.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool a bit before transferring the soup mixture to a food processor or blender (or use an immersion blender).
- Set aside some of the cooked mushrooms for garnish, then puree the soup for a few seconds.
- Pour the finished bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme and cooked mushrooms and serve warm.
