Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 lbs white mushrooms, roughly chopped (I din't have enough fresh mushrooms and so added a handful of reconstituted shitaki's- worked well)
  • 2 teaspoons savory (I was out and so used all oregano- still good)
  • 14 teaspoon oregano
  • 13 cup white wine (original recipe called for sherry)
  • 9 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt and pepper
  • 10 leaves fresh spinach (I "eyeballed" the amount- I'm sure it was more)

Method

  • Melt butter and saute onion and garlic until onion is clear.
  • Add wine and deglaze pot, scrapping up the fond (brown residue left on bottom of the pot from the onions and garlic).
  • Reduce by half.
  • Add mushrooms, savory, oregano, stock, tomato paste and bay leaf.
  • Bring to a gentle boil then reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
  • Stir in spinch till wilted.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
