SOUP

Everyone has their own chicken soup recipe, so here are two of my favorites
one is very simple the other is alot of steps, but so well worth it!

East Carrot Ginger Soup:
Roast carrots (aprox 8-12) on cookie sheet with salt,white pepper & olive oil until soft . Puree in food precessor or blender & add freshly grated ginger (small piece) & then place in pot with 1 qt. chicken stock & simmer EASY & so delicious!

Wild Mushroom Soup:
**I like lots of different mushrooms in this but use what you like
Chop portabellos, cremeri, shitake & white mushrooms (1 box or bag of ea) & CHOP WELL
& saute in pan with a tablespoon of butter & 2 tbps of olive oil, fresh thyme, one chopped shallot & a bit of flat leaf italian parsley. Clean, slice & saute one large leek & then add to mushrooms. Add 1/2 cup of dry white wine & reduce. In a pot, simmer a qt. of good chicken stock & add mushroom & leek mixture & simmer for 20 minutes, Add 1/4 cup of half & half or heavy cream at end. DO NOT boil.
Delicious!!!!!
