Equipment
- 1 soup pot
Materials
- 1 cup shredded & dried chicken of the woods mushrooms [or 2 cups fresh]
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery root [or celery stalk]
- 6 bulbs wild garlic [or 2 cloves garlic, minced]
- 2 tbsp dried wild spices [we used carrot seeds, spiceberries, sweetfern & rosemary]
- 6 leaves northern bayberry [or 2 bay leaves]
- 6 cups broth [8 cups if using fresh mushrooms]
- 3 cups cooked noodles
- 2 cups wild greens & herbs [we used cleavers, watercress, & parsley]
- olive oil, as needed
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- 1. Soak the mushrooms in 2 cups of water to rehydrate for 20 minutes. Drain and reserve the soaking liquid. Set aside.
- 2. Melt butter in a large pot set over medium-low heat, and add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery root. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have become translucent and the carrots have begun to take on brown spots, 8-10min.
- 3. Add the garlic, dried spices, and bay leaves to the pot, and cook until fragrant, 1-2min.
- 4. Create a space in the center of the pot and add the drained mushrooms. Let them cook undisturbed until they begin browning, 8-10min. Stir and cook for an additional 5min, adding olive oil as needed to encourage browning.
- 5. Deglaze the pot with the reserved mushroom soaking liquid, then add 6 cups of broth. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- 6. Add the cooked noodles to the pot, and salt to taste. Stir in greens & herbs just before serving.
