Sicilian Clam & Mushroom Soup

This is my adaptation of a delicious soup offered at a small Italian restaurant in Bradford, VT.

 


INGREDIENTS

  • Cooking Time: 10 or so
  • Servings: 4-6
  • Preparation Time: 30
  • 1/2 Tbl. Margarine or Butter.
  • 2 Tbl. chopped Onion
  • 1 Cup (or more) sliced canned or fresh Mushrooms
  • 2 Tbl. Flour
  • 1/4 Tsp. Pepper
  • 2 Tbl. Sherry or Marsala
  • 1/2 Tsp. Worcestershire
  • 2 Cups Chicken Broth (or Boullion)
  • 1 6 oz. Can minced Clams, and their broth
  • 2 Cups Half & Half
  • Optional: Chopped Chives and Parsley.

DIRECTIONS

In a soup pot, melt butter.


Add onions mushrooms and pepper; cooking till onions are translucent.


Sprinkle flour over all then stir and cook for a minute.


Deglaze with the Marsala, then immediately add the chicken stock & Worcestershire, stirring until it comes to a boil and is slightly thickened.


Allow to simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the clams and their broth, and the half & half.


Bring soup back to almost boiling before serving.



NOTE: As with any dairy-based soup, do not allow to boil, or it will separate.


This soup tastes even better if made the day before serving, to allow flavors to develop.
