vegan mushroom cioppino


Hi, I'm back! I've been cheffing and managing for a vegetarian restaurant these past two years, and my musings have been posted elsewhere on the web. 

Speaking of musings, I am going to keep my future posts short and sweet. I usually scroll right down to the bottom of most food blogs, skipping the novel that precedes the recipe. I find all that writing to be superfluous. In addition, in writing less words, the likelihood of my sharing recipes and other useful information will be greater.

So, without further ado, I would like to share with you the recipe for this vegan mushroom cioppino, a standout soup that was originally created in the late 1800s by Italian fishermen in San Francisco. This version swaps oyster and trumpet mushrooms out for the seafood. I am a big fan of my food processor and used the slicing attachment for the leeks, trumpet mushrooms, garlic, fennel, celery and tomatoes. I suggest you do the same if you have the luxury, its a real time saver.

Omnivores and vegetarians alike go bonkers for this amazing vegan soup, which was in regular rotation at the caffe. Enjoy!

the ingredients

VEGAN MUSHROOM CIOPPINO
Makes about 12 servings (can easily be halved)
  • 1 pound royal trumpet mushrooms, ends removed and sliced into bite sized pieces.
  • 1 pound oyster mushrooms, ends removed and torn into bite sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 stalks leeks, tough green ends removed, rinsed & thinly sliced (see bottom pic)
  • 18 cloves sliced garlic
  • 2 cups fennel, sliced thin
  • 1 bunch celery, sliced thin
  • 2 cups dry white wine
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 vegetarian bouillon cube
  • 2 1/2 lbs chopped tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 3 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Fresh oregano, chopped

In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil until it ripples. Add the leeks, celery and garlic, and brown for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to brown (another 3 to 5 minutes)
Stir in the fennel, then the wine. Let the wine come to a boil, then simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the water and bouillon cube, tomatoes, salt, pepper, chili flakes and Old Bay. Simmer for 30 minutes on low until the mushrooms are tender and the fennel is soft. Remove from heat and add a small handful of chopped fresh oregano. Taste and adjust seasoning.
 

Ladle into bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with sourdough bread

Quick tip for cleaning leeks I learned from David Lebovitz: slice lengthwise up to the root,
making them very easy to rinse off. Then slice as needed.

  1. I was a little short on mushrooms so threw in some kale. Still delish, though! Nice work!

  4. 99 ranch! You can use any feathery mushrooms for the oysters. I went to specialty but it got expensive.

  9. Life Nutra Keto - To the best of my knowledge, a lot of women feel this do-it-yourself weight loss is not reliable. This isn't notable. So much for being organized. I sometimes don't notice the woods for the trees. I expect you're right on that, but it is the most salient notion. Is it that much more crucial to have a weight loss than to have a weight loss? weight loss isn't for the bargain hunter.

  18. I bet some coworkers probably think that germane to Keto Advanced Fat Burner. I'm all geared for Keto Advanced Fat Burner. This wasn't a big number. There are no stagnant postulations in this arena of ideas. At that point it's either sink or swim. I sent a small contribution so as to help them out. It is clear to me that I couldn't try to flee from that anyway. I work better when I can breathe down there.

  19. That may be right, however the same Keto Advanced Fat Burner isn't always the correct solution. Keto Advanced Fat Burner was one of the best solutions. Therefore, like my companion told me, "No news is uninspired news." When will it be? I'm guessing that you will have had your own encounters with Keto Advanced Fat Burner. It was as smooth as glass.
