Three things happened: my naturopath suggested getting more mushrooms (particularly shiitakes) in my diet, I read this article entitled “Smart Fuel: Mushrooms” at Mark’s Daily Apple, and I found dried chanterelles and porcini powder at Dr Earth. As a result, this soup was born.
Triple mushroom soup
This soup uses dried chanterelles, Swiss brown and porcini powder for a deep, earthy flavour.
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 30 g dried chanterelles (or other dried mushrooms)
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 400 g Swiss brown mushrooms sliced

- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp celery salt (or regular sea salt)
- 1 tsp porcini powder
- salt and pepper

Instructions
- Soak the dried mushrooms in hot water until fully rehydrated. Drain and keep the soaking water.
- Heat ghee in a pot and sautée the fresh and rehydrated mushrooms, garlic and onion powder for 10 minutes.
- Add wine, reserved soaking water (be careful as there may be dirt at the bottom of the container), set heat to max and let reduce for about 10 minutes.
