Soup-A-Licious: Italian Mushroom Soup
National Soup Week is in full swing and we're inviting the SOUPER people of Ireland to gather friends, family and/or colleagues together over a cup or bowl of soup during National Soup Week (5th - 11th March 2012) and make a small contribution to gorta's work overseas.
A great soup to make for those holding their own soup events at home is homemade mushroom soup. Full of flavor and easy to make
2 teaspoons of Olive Oil
1lb of Mushrooms
2 diced Red Onions
2 tbsp – Flour
2 Cloves of Garlic
1 cup of Vegetable Stock
1.5 cups – Fusilli Pasta
1 tin Chopped Tomatoes
Salt and Pepper (For Seasoning)
What To Do:
Heat olive oil in pot.
Chop up onions, garlic and mushrooms
Fry the onions and garlic until they are nearly cooked.
Add the mushrooms to the pot, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add flour to the pot, and coat mushrooms and onions.
Add the stock to the pot, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes and pasta to the pot, and simmer for a further 15 minutes.
Once all the ingredients have cooked and heated through (make sure the pasta is cooked properly), season to taste.
Serve in bowls.
Tip 1: Any type of mushroom can be used as per preference
Tip 2: Add more stock or water to get a soup of desired consistency.
