• 1 pound of a mix of wild and cultivated, thinly-sliced mushrooms with stems
• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 4 large shallots, peeled and chopped

How to Cook: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these simple steps to cook the wild mushroom garlic soup in less than 20 minutes. You will need a pan, a bowl, a ladle, a food processor, and a spider or slotted spoon

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients. Peel and finely chop shallots, peel and mince garlic, and slice mushrooms into thin, small pieces. Splurge on a few expensive mushroom varieties but even out the volume with creminis and white mushrooms.

Step 2

Pour 2 tablespoons of garlic olive oil into a pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Add half of the mushrooms and season with a quarter tablespoon each of salt and pepper. Add a sprig of thyme and sauté the mixture. Make sure to stir the mushrooms often.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to a bowl when soft. Add the second half of the mushrooms to the pan. Repeat the sautéing and seasoning process with the other half with a sprig of thyme, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of garlic-infused Texas olive oil. Transfer the mushrooms to the bowl once cooked.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of the garlic olive oil in the pan. Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic and sweat for a few minutes until soft. Make sure they are not brown. Add the cup of white wine and cook until the mixture looks like syrup.

Step 5

Take the bowl of mushrooms and return them to the pan. Mix them well with the syrup. Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and place the bay leaf into the mixture. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Use a slotted spoon or spider to take mushrooms out of the soup. Transfer 1/3 of the mushrooms to a food processor and finely chop the mushrooms. After they are chopped, place the mushrooms back into the soup.

Step 7

Take a ladle and pour the soup into bowls. Use a drizzle of the garlic-infused Texas Olive Oil on top. We recommend serving with a helping of toasted bread.
