Example of yeah to harvest your oyster mushrooms from a mushroom box
Follow This Simple Process:
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: In a large pot or oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the pot and set aside.
- Soften Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add more butter if needed, then sauté the chopped onions until they are translucent and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Create Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring well to combine. Cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Add Broth and Mushrooms: Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the sautéed mushrooms back into the pot.
- Simmer and Season: Let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until it has slightly thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- Add Coconut Cream: Stir in the coconut cream (or heavy cream) and let it heat through without boiling. This will give the soup a creamy texture.
- Blend for Smoothness (Optional): If you prefer a smoother soup, you can blend a portion of it in a blender or with an immersion blender.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or thyme. Serve with crusty bread or croutons for a satisfying meal.
Chef's Tip: For an enhanced umami flavor, consider adding a few slices of shiitake mushrooms to the pot along with the oyster mushrooms. This combination will deepen the flavor profile of the soup.
