Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 ounce dried muchrooms, such as morels or cepes

2 small bay leaves

pinch thyme

5 full branches parsley

1 yellow onion -- cut in 1/4-inch dice

1 large leek, white part and roots -- washed and sliced

6 cloves garlic -- roughly chopped

2 pounds fresh mushrooms -- finely chopped by hand or in a food

processor

2 quarts water

lemon juice, to taste

1/4 cup Madeira, or to taste

freshly ground black pepper

 

Combine all the ingredients except the lemon juice and Madeira in a large

saucepan and cover with 2 quarts cold water. Gradually bring to a boil, then

lower the heat, cover the pan, and simmer slowly for 1 1/2 hours. Strain the

broth, pressing all the vegetables to extract as much liquid as possible, then

to clarify it, pour it carefully through a large coffee filter or a double layer

of cheesecloth. Store in the refrigerater until ready to use.

 

To serve, slowly reheat the soup withoout bringing it to a full boil. Stir in

the lemon juice, to taste, and the Madeira. Serve plain, in heated bowls, or

with any of the garnishes plus a grating of pepper.

 

Dried, wild mushrooms, such as morels or cepes, make this thin broth very

flavorful. If you have fresh wild mushrooms, use them to whatever degree you

can afford, as well. This consomme would make a good opening to a meal of many

courses. It can also be used as a stock for cooking rice, barley, and other

grains. Serve it clear and unadorned, or garnish with cooked rice, pasta

shapes, fresh herbs, or thinly sliced mushrooms.
