Rice and Mushroom Soup Recipe
Directions
  • Cover dried morels with 1 cup hot water. Set aside.
  • Clean button mushrooms: wipe or brush away any stray bits, rinse if necessary. Remove and dice stems. Cut caps in thick slices.
  • Dice carrots, celery and onion.
  • Heat oil in heavy saucepan. Add carrots, onion, celery and mushroom stems. Cook 10 minutes over medium-low  heat, stirring occasionally. Add stock and sliced mushroom caps.
  • Drain soaked morels, reserving the soaking water. Strain the soaking water through a coffee filter or piece of cheesecloth to remove any grit. Add strained water and soaked morels to pan. ( The soaking water is loaded with flavor)
  • Add rice and sherry. Simmer for 30 minutes (45 if using brown rice) or until rice is tender. Taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper as needed.
