Recipes | June 20, 2017
*yields 2 portions
2 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces
2 cups portobello mushrooms, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped into small pieces

3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

_____
Instructions:
- Add the chopped bacon into a large pot and turn the heat on to medium/high. Stir frequently and cook the bacon pieces for 2-3 minutes from the moment it begins to sizzle. Then add the chopped shallot.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes and then add the mushrooms and thyme. Lower the heat to medium. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5-6 minutes until they start to turn brown. Add the chopped garlic before the last 2 minutes is up.
- Add the broth and bring slowly to a boil. In the mean time, whisk the eggs with lemon juice in a medium size bowl.
- Add slowly 1/2 cup of the hot soup to the eggs while whisking. Then transfer the egg mixture slowly into the pot while stirring the soup. The soup begins to thicken, keep stirring. Turn off the heat and add salt & pepper.
- Pour the soup into two bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. You can also save the second portion for later. If you keep it in a refrigerator in a Tupperware it will last up to 5 days.

This is a fabulous soup! The flavor was great without adding any salt or pepper. Loved it! Even my 5 yr old loved it!

This was delicious! I’m usually not a huge mushroom fan but this was great. My six year old loved it too. I used turkey bacon and it was yummy.
