POTATO MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Rinse the mushrooms clean and pat them dry. Trim off and discard any dried stem ends. Roughly chop the mushrooms (don't be too fussy about the chopping; they get pureed in the end).
• In a large pot, melt the butter or heat the oil over medium-high heat. Increase the heat to high and add the mushrooms and salt. Cook, stirring frequently until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop the onion and the garlic. Add the onion to the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop the potatoes.
• Add the sherry to the pot and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until all the vegetables are extremely falling-apart tender, about 10 minutes.
• Use a handheld blender to completely puree the soup. Or carefully whirl it in batches in a blender or food processor. In any case, process the soup much longer than you think is necessary-at least 2 or 3 minutes for each batch-to get a supremely smooth texture.
• Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• Serve the soup hot, garnished as you like with freshly chopped parsley, chives, or thyme, for example.
• Enjoy.

HEALTHY POTATO, MUSHROOM AND LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• Potatoes -- In a large soup pot add 3 cups of water and the potatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer just 5-7 minutes. You don't want to cook them all the way, you just want to give them a head start. Once they are done, drain and set the potatoes off to the side. Don't cook them until they are tender, just crisp.
• Base -- In the same pot, add the butter, onions, leeks, and celery and cook on medium heat for about 3 minutes. Then add in the garlic and mushrooms and cook until the vegetables are mostly tender. About 5-7 minutes.
• Then deglaze the pot with the wine and also add the brandy. Cook 1-2 minutes until most of the liquid starts to reduce. Mix well. Add in the flour and stir well so everything is combined, make sure to cook just another minute to get rid of the flour taste. Slowly add in the broth and stir.
• Potatoes -- Then add in 2/3 of the potatoes and the bay leaf. Don't worry about exact measuring, just eyeball it. The remaining 1/3 of the potatoes mash up slightly. I just use a fork to lightly mash and break them up. They don't have to be perfect. Add them to the soup and season with salt and pepper, remember you can always season a bit more later. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook about 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened. Once again, check for seasoning and add in the fresh dill and 1/2 of the parsley. Also, if you want your soup a bit thicker at this point, take a little of the broth or just water and add another teaspoon of flour and mix well. Add slowly to the soup to thicken. I personally like the soup a bit thinner as the potatoes thicken it nicely, but it depends how you like yours.
• Serve -- Add in the remaining parsley right before you serve the soup. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and ENJOY!
