iso: your recipe for eggplant soup

[Guest guest]

I was surprised to find a few eggplant on the vine. I'm thinking soup.

 

Does anyone have an eggplant soup you'd like to share? Pureed?

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

2 Cups Boiling Water

1 Cup Dried Mushrooms -- (1 oz.) * see note

Vegetable Oil Cooking Spray

2 Leeks -- trimmed

2 Tablespoons Flour

1 Tablespoon Curry Powder

4 Cups Skim Milk

* oyster, morel, porcini, you pick

 

Put the boiling water over the dried mushrooms in a bowl and set aside.

 

Preheat a heavy stockpot over medium high heat for 1 minute, then spray twice

with vegetable oil. Add the leeks and saute for about 3 minutes, stirring

constantly, until translucent. Add the flour and curry powder. Stir with a

wooden spoon until leeks are well coated. Add milk and bouillon cube. Raise the

heat to high and cook just until bubbles form around the edge.

 

Reduce heat to low, whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Stir in

fresh mushrooms and cook until soup is at desired thickness.

 

Meanwhile, remove the reconstituted mushrooms from their soaking liquid, strain,

squeeze out excess moisture, and roughly chop. Add mushrooms to stockpot and

cook 1 minute more.

 

Remove from heat, stir in the sherry and garnish with chopped chervil.

 

NOTES

I have seen some interest in low fat recipies. I tried this one from " In the

Kitchen with Rosie " by Rosie Daley (yes, Oprah's personal cook). Actually,

every recipe I've tried has been really good. -- Kay Savik
