RECIPE: Mushroom Bisque (Vegan)

[Guest guest]

This is a lovely soup which we have had twice now (including yesterday) -

and it is so simple to make. It is an adaptatiion of one in Leah Leneman's

The Tofu Cookbook (1992,1998). I can't think how I overlooked it for so

long!

 

MUSHROOM BISQUE

 

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3/4 lb. mushrooms, finely chopped

1 Tbsp paprika

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

2-1/2 cups (20 fl. oz.) water

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 lb (1 cup) soft tofu

1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

 

'Saute' the onion and mushrooms in a little water with the paprika and

cayenne, bring to a boil and lower to simmer. Cover and cook until the

vegetables soften - about 10 minutes. (Don't let this boil dry.)

 

Add the water, salt (if using) and pepper. Stir. Bring to boil and reduce

to simmer for another 3 minutes.

 

Now your soup is almost ready. Put the tofu and lemon juice in a blender

amd zap it into creamy mix, which you will now stir into the mushroom

mixture. Heat very gently, not permitting it to come to the boil.

 

Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Serve immediately. Wonderful!

And it <a href= " http://beanvegan.blogspot.com " >looks pretty</a> too

 

[NOTE: You could of course use vegetable stock in place of the water, but

I decided not to do that for fear of overpowering the flavour of the

mushrooms. I used just plain button mushrooms, but I plan to experiment

with a mix for next time.]

 

Serves 4.

 

Love, Pat
