I did it for the length of time it took to cook the soup. When the soup is ready. Grill the mushrooms. The way I like to do it is to char both sides \u2013 just so it has a bit of color. Do this on the hot part of the grill, and then set them aside to finish cooking through. Try a mushroom to see if it is done.<\/p>\n<h3>Mushroom Stock (optional)<\/h3>\n<p>To make a stock using the stems of the shiitakes, roast them in the oven at 400 degrees F with an onion until they have a bit of color. Then add to a stock pot, cover with water, add the oregano and watercress stems. Bring to a boil and simmer for an hour.<\/p>\n<h3>Soup<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Saute garlic in the olive oil with salt until translucent. Add potatoes and cook until halfway done (about 10 minutes) add vegetable stock and simmer until potatoes are cooked through. Puree and season.<\/li>\n<li>Puree watercress with a little water.<\/li>\n<li>Combine the potato puree with the watercress, and garnish with the mushrooms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n<p>This dish can be served cold as well (in fact I recommend it!). Also, a little bit of nice olive oil on top would be good, and a few shavings of Parmesan!<\/p>\n<p>Recipe from The Perennial Plate<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; See more at: http:\/\/strongertogether.coop\/recipes\/watercress-soup-with-shiitake-mushrooms\/#sthash.vSVDhfur.dpuf<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients Mushrooms 10 large shiitake mushrooms 1 bulb green garlic, minced 1\/2 bunch oregano, minced (reserve stems for optional mushroom stock) 1\/4 cup good olive oil 1\/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar (or rice vinegar with a bit of honey) Soup 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 green garlic bulbs plus stalks, chopped 2 large potatoes, peeled [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3752,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
