Ingredients

  • 2 diced portobello mushrooms
  • 2 cups diced oyster mushrooms
  • 2 cups diced crimini mushrooms
  • 1 thinly sliced stalk of fennel (or leek)
  • 1 oz butter or ghee
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or coconut flour for grain-free)
  • 1/2 cup Madeira wine
  • 5 cups Wild Moon Organic Chicken Bone Broth
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)
  • 2 teaspoons chopped marjoram (fresh or dried)

Method

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the fennel and bacon and sauté for 5 minutes.
  2. Add all the mushrooms and cook together for 10 minutes.
  3. Mix the flour with a few tablespoons of the broth, add it to the pan and stir for 1 minute.
  4. Add the Madeira and keep stirring for another 10 minutes.
  5. Add the rest of the bone broth, reduce the heat and simmer for around 45 minutes. Let the soup cool for a few minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, heat the oil in another pan and cook the chicken through.
  7. Blend the cooled soup (without the chicken) until smooth, then return it to the saucepan.
  8. Add the sour cream and marjoram and stir for a few minutes until the soup warms up again. Remove from heat.
