Today I decided to be brave by cooking Zuppa di Porcini. I normally don't eat mushrooms, as the taste is too earthy for me, but I had confidence in this recipe, as I have enjoyed the recipes in the Dolce Vita cook book so far.
For this recipe I had to get some Porcini mushrooms. My grocery store didn't carry them, so I bought Portobello mushrooms instead-and prayed it would all work out.
The Portobello mushrooms turn grey when they are cooked- as opposed to the white Porcini, but the taste was so savory and the fresh mint took away the earthiness of the mushroom. To quote my Husband, this soup is "FANTASTIC"!
YUM! this looks so good. I love mushrooms but I can't eat them raw! Vince must be loving that you're doing all this fun cooking! xo
