Ingredients
Vegetable Stock
  • 1 onion, chopped into one-half-inch pieces
  • 1 large celery stalk, chopped into one-half-inch pieces
  • 1 large carrot, chopped into one-half-inch pieces
  • 1 large parsnip, chopped into one-half-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 5 sprigs parsley
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 quart of vegetable broth (or water)
Soup
  • ½ pound assorted fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ cup Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (or more)
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger, or to taste
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a medium stock pot over medium heat and cook the vegetables, garlic and shallot until softened and aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the parsley, thyme and bay leaf, along with the salt and veggie broth, and increase heat to high. When the stock comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  2. Strain the stock into another pot, discarding the vegetables and herbs.
  3. While the stock is simmering, prepare the mushrooms:
  4. Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the mushrooms with the olive oil and one-half teaspoon of salt and several grinds of pepper, or to taste. Roast the mushrooms until they darken, are aromatic and begin to release their juices, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir the mushrooms about every 5 minutes so they roast evenly.
  5. Remove the musrooms and save any juices that collected in the pan. When the stock is ready, add the juices from the mushrooms along with wine and gently simmer for another 20 minutes. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  6. To plate the soup, in each of 4 bowls, divide the mushrooms, spinach and fresh ginger. Pour the hot broth over and serve immediately. Sprinkle with some fresh, chopped thyme if desired.
