Oven Roasted Mushroom Soup

I love love love mushrooms. If I can sneak them into any recipe I do, so making homemade mushroom soup is like the end-all-be-all for me. I made this up last night for lunches this week and so far I love it. It is full of deliciously woodsy roasted mushrooms and has a nice flavourful broth. If you wanted to make it creamier, you could reduce the liquid more before you had in the milk (or even replace it with heavy cream), but I kinda liked the brothy like consistency…which was great for soaking up some French bread. Yum!

What you’ll need:

1/3 cup Olive Oil
3 lbs of various Mushrooms, roughly chopped into large pieces (white, cremini, shiitake)
3/4 tsp Salt
3/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped Shallots
3/4 cup Dry White Wine
3 cups Chicken Broth
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh Thyme Leaves
1/2 cup Milk
1 tbsp Lemon Juice

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Roughly chop mushrooms and place in a large non-stick roasting pan. Toss with 1/3 cup olive oil and ½ tsp each of salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes on the lowest shelf of the oven.

Finely chop the shallots, add to the mushrooms and stir to combine. Continue to roast for 10 more minutes.

I wish that you could smell this right now. Ridiculously good. I had to resist eating them right now, but I’m a mushroom freak like that.

Remove the pan from the oven and pour in the wine, chicken broth and chopped thyme leaves. Stir to combine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the pan to the oven and let simmer for another 20 minutes.
Remove pan and transfer soup to a large serving bowl.

Remove 2 cups of mushrooms with a slotted spoon and 1 cup of soup liquid and puree in a blender.

Stir puree, cream, lemon juice and remaining salt and pepper into the soup. Serve hot.

Just look at all those delicious mushroom pieces!

You could also make this a vegetarian soup by swapping out the chicken broth for vegetable broth (thats right, sis, I’m talking to you!)
