zuppa maremmana
6 servings
To prepare mushrooms, brush with a damp paper towel. If ends of stems are tough or dry, trim them before slicing mushrooms.
Ingredients
- 6 thick slices country-style bread, lightly toasted
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 celery stalk, minced
- 1 medium carrot, minced
- 1 small onion, minced
- 12 ounces fresh chanterelle mushrooms, sliced
- 12 ounces fresh porcini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage, plus extra for garnish
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 5½ cups chicken broth, preferably homemade, hot
- 4 roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
Divide bread among shallow soup bowls.
Heat oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, carrot and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden and softened, about 8 minutes. Add mushrooms, sage, pinch salt and pepper; stir to coat and cook until liquid mushrooms give off is evaporated and mushrooms begin to brown.
Add hot broth, bring to a gentle simmer and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and continue cooking, covered, until flavors have blended, about 15 minutes more. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste; ladle over bread and sprinkle with parsley and sage.

A favourite. I often prefer it with Beef broth. Alternatively, it makes for an exquisite vegatarian soup when made with vegetable broth. Pass the Romano!Posted: November 10, 2009 02:38 by mrnik
