Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms
- 1 cup Fisher® Chef's Naturals Walnut Halves and Pieces, divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup white rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Directions
- Cut one mushroom into 6 slices, set aside. Chop remaining mushrooms. Set aside 6 walnut halves for garnish and coarsely chop remaining walnuts.
- Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Add sliced mushroom and sauté until lightly browned; set aside. Add remaining mushrooms and onions and cook about 5 minutes or until onions are soft, stirring occasionally. Add rice, stock, chopped walnuts and thyme, bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered for 15 minutes or until mushrooms are very soft.
- Puree soup in a blender in batches. Return to pot and add heavy cream. Reheat if soup has cooled. Serve immediately garnished with reserved mushroom slices, walnut halves and a sprig of fresh thyme, if desired.
- Note: Do not allow soup to boil after cream has been added
