CHEF'S NOTES
This rich and luscious dish is an enticing change from the traditional mushroom soup. Porcini mushrooms and ground California walnuts offer an earthy contrast to the mild broth. For a satisfying meal, serve with crusty French bread and a garden salad.
For a subtle, smokey flavour
Use 3 to 4 strips of bacon in place of butter.
Storing
Make soup ahead of time; refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
To reconstitute the dried porcini mushrooms
Follow the directions on the package. Or, combine porcini and 1-1/2 cups (625 mL) boiling water in medium bowl. Let stand until porcini soften, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove porcini from water and chop coarsely.
