(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 2 leeks (white and light green parts), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 1 lb. cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 tbsp. dry red wine
  • 1 tsp tomato paste
  • 4 cups chicken broth, divided
  • 1 tsp potato starch
  • Leftover steak (from Red Wine Steaks), cut into bite-size pieces
  • Leftover caramelized vegetables (from Red Wine Steaks)
  • 1/2 tsp each sea salt and black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 4 tsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz. baguette, sliced into 16 rounds

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan on medium, heat oil. Add celery and leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown and no liquid remains, 15-20 minutes.

  2. Stir in wine and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute. Add 3 cups broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk remaining 1 cup broth with starch; stir into soup. Stir in steak, vegetables, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, 1 minute.

  3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400. In a separate small bowl, combine garlic, cheese and butter. Arrange baguette slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet; spread garlic mixture over tops. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.

  4. Divide soup among bowls; top with baguette.
