Recipe Tips
If you want to make this soup alcohol free, let it simmer for at least 10 minutes after adding in the sherry, so that the alcohol boils off. Or, simply omit the sherry and add 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, instead.
If you want to add whole grains to this soup, substitute Success® Brown Rice in for the white rice used here.
Mushrooms, Sherry and Thyme
This soup is a tasty and comforting way to stay warm when temperatures drop. The savory blend of mushrooms and onions with thyme and broth mixed with hearty rice makes this dish easy to prepare, delicious and filling. Plus, we add a secret ingredient to this dish that helps to enrich its overall flavor. A dash of sherry does wonders for this hearty soup!
What is Sherry?
Sherry is a fortified wine made from specific varieties of white grapes found in Spain. It can be dry or sweet and is meant to be sipped in small glasses. However, it is also commonly added to recipes, including creamy soups, to give them a delicious finishing touch. Sherry pairs especially well with mushrooms and onions and gives a surprisingly savory taste that results in restaurant-quality dishes.
If you get yourself a small bottle of sherry but don’t know what to do with the rest, save it and toss some into an Asian Stir-Fry or our Chicken and Ginger Fried Rice. Sherry is an amazing ingredient to have on hand to add just a hint of great flavor to many types of dishes.
