Mushroom Soup with Hazelnut Gremolata

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Mushroom soup didn’t sound great to me, it didn’t have any cream, and it made a pea soup like color which I’m very adverse to. But the hazelnuts sounded appealing, and why not try something new? It tastes better than it looks, and the garlic bread I put with it was great too. The recipe tells you to transfer the soup to a food processor to blend it, but I have a hand blender which is a great tool, and transfering hot liquids sounded like guaranteed disaster. I also just bought a pre-cut stir fry mushroom package, and didn’t need to make and pay for another 12 oz of mushrooms we didn’t need. But if you’re making it for 6, buy the whole extra 12 oz. Gremolata is a fancy word for chopped garlic, parsley, and lemon - ooooooo…….. This one adds hazelnuts, which are a nice contrast to the mushy soup. This isn’t my favorite, but I’m glad I tried it, and now I know what gremolata is.
