Ingredients

Instructions

  • Slice mushrooms. Heat oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are browned and most of the moisture has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add shallots and scallions. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Add flour and stir to combine.
  • Add stock and milk, stirring and scraping to loosen any browned bits from bottom of pot. Add tarragon, salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a low boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Transfer half of mixture to a food processor or blender and process until almost smooth; return to pot. Or use an immersion blender to pulse the soup until somewhat blended but some whole pieces of mushroom are still visible.
  • Stir in parsley. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
