Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small yellow onion -- chopped

1 celery stalk -- chopped

1 large all-purpose potato -- peeled and diced

4 cups vegetable stock

(see separate recipe)

3/4 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves

OR 1/4 teaspoon dried, plus a pinch

1/2 teaspoon salt -- or more to taste

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1 1/2 cups regular or soy milk

2 tablespoons cornstarch -- DISSOLVED IN

1/4 cup water

8 ounces oyster mushrooms

1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seafood seasoning

Kelp flakes (optional)

 

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the

onion and celery, cover, and cook, stirring a few times, until softened, about 5

minutes. Add the potato, stock, thyme, salt, and cayenne and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, partially cover, and simmer until the potato is soft, 15

to 20 minutes.

 

2. Transfer 1 cup of the mixture to a food processor or blender and process

until smooth. Return the mixture to the soup and stir in the milk. Heat to a

simmer, add the cornstarch mixture, and boil, stirring, for 1 minute, or until

thickened.

 

3. Meanwhile, slice or quarter any larger mushrooms; leave smaller ones whole

or halve them. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium-size skillet.

Add the mushrooms, sprinkle with the Old Bay seasoning, and cook for 1 minute.

 

4. Add the mushrooms to the soup and serve, garnished with kelp flakes, if

desired.

NOTES : Creamy oyster mushrooms have a slight " seafood " taste and a texture

similar to that of oysters. Kelp flakes, or ground kelp, are available in

shaker containers in natural food stores. Sprinkled on the chowder, they make a

lovely garnish while adding a nutritious taste of the sea.
