Wild Mushroom Chowder



This hearty and comforting chowder is made with a variety of wild mushrooms, crispy bacon, and soft leeks that are cooked in a creamy broth with thyme.

Ingredients:

  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 leeks, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound wild mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions:

Put the chopped bacon in a big pot and cook it over medium-low heat until it gets crispy

Take the bacon out of the pot and set it aside

Leave the bacon fat in the pot

Put in the sliced leeks and cook for about 5 minutes, until they get soft

Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic and add them to the pot

It will take about 8 minutes of cooking until the mushrooms are soft and golden

Put flour on the vegetables and mix them around to cover them all

Do this for two minutes

Slowly add the chicken or vegetable broth while stirring all the time to keep lumps from forming

Set the mixture on low heat and let it cook for 10 minutes

This will give it time to thicken a bit

Add heavy cream and thyme leaves and mix well

Add pepper and salt to taste

Let it cook for five more minutes

Add chopped crispy bacon and parsley on top while the food is still hot
