Hearty, tasty, and surprisingly low-calorie. A great appetizer for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or when you don't have time to do something fancy but still want to impress yourself or others. Ingredients:
1/2 cup heavy cream |
1/3 cup wine (have fun with your choice) |
2 2/3 cups chicken broth |
8 green onions, chopped |
1/2 large onion, chopped |
4 teaspoons thyme |
2 teaspoons sugar |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 portabella mushrooms, chopped |
salt |
pepper |
fresh parsley, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Sweat both the onions in the butter by tossing them in the pan, adding a pinch of salt and pepper, and moving them around until translucent (about 10 minutes).
3. Increase heat to medium high and add the portabello mushrooms, sautéing until soft (3-5 minutes).
4. Mix sugar and thyme with wine and broth, and pour into the pot. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze.
5. Pour the contents of the pot into a food processor, and blend until smooth.
6. Put the mixture back into the pot, pour in the heavy cream, and simmer until ready to serve. Garnish with parsley.
