Wild Mushroom Bisque
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, , divided
- 1 pound fresh wild mushrooms, , sliced, plus another 4 ounces for garnish
- 2 large shallots, , chopped
- ⅓ cup bourbon
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Kosher or fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk

Instructions
- In a medium heavy-duty soup pot, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are starting to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
- Add the bourbon, thyme, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper; stir well and scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add 3½ cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- To make the garnish, sauté the additional 4 ounces of mushrooms in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil until nicely browned. Set aside.
- Puree the soup with an immersion blender. Add the coconut milk and return to a simmer. Heat the soup through for a few minutes. Adjust the seasoning, ladle into bowls, and serve immediately, garnished with the sautéed mushrooms and fresh herbs, if using.
