Portobello and Porcini Broth

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Soup

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 large Portobello mushroom caps, chopped
  • 5 thyme sprigs
  • 5 parsley sprigs
  • 1/4 cup dry Marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup dried porcini mushrooms, rinsed
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • Kosher salt
  • 16 oz. mushroom or cheese tortelloni
  • Shredded Parmesan, for topping

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the carrot, celery and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until just golden, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil, the portobellos and herbs; cook, stirring, until the mushrooms release their juices, about 4 minutes. Increase the heat to high; cook until the mushrooms brown, 2-3 minutes.

  2. Add the wine and cook to reduce, about 1 minute. Add the porcini, peppercorns, 1 1/2 tsp salt and 12 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced by about one-third, 25-30 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, cook the tortelloni as directed. Drain; skewer on toothpicks.

  4. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids. Skim any excess fat from the surface. Season with salt. Serve with the tortelloni and sprinkle with Parmesan.
