My wife has a nice mushroom and wild rice soup recipe (will add in next post).
We use a LOT of mushrooms for this soup. The way we are able to justify this, is, if we find mushrooms on sale at the grocery store, they go into the basket and straight into the freezer when we get home.
We made this at the end of last winter, and it was way, way better then every time before. One of the mushrooms broke down during the cooking process, and the soup turned out way, way creamier and smoother than ever before. Today, doing the recipe with white buttons, shiitake, cremini and some portabella, and not getting the same reaction.
Any hints from the pros on here as to what kind of mushrooms might be the most prone to break down into almost a broth / paste?
Mushrooms I have used before (besides those listed above, some dried, most fresh)
Oyster, Enoki, king oyster, porcini, maitake, morel, black trumpet
Any thoughts on which mushrooms to look out for, or any methods to get some of the mushrooms to break down, would be appreciated.
