INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl, pour the warm water over the dried mushrooms,
weighting them down so that the mushrooms are completely submerged;
soak for 30 minutes. cut off and discard the tough stems. Squeeze
excess liquid from the mushrooms back into the soaking liquid, then
strain the liquid through a dampened coffee filter to get rid of any
fine grit. Slice the mushrooms and set them aside along with the
liquid. Wipe the cultivated mushrooms with dampened paper towels, t
rim off the stems and slice the mushrooms thickly. Set aside. In a
7-qt. Dutch oven, melt the butter and saut=82 the shallots over medium
heat, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add both kinds of mushrooms
and saut=82, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Add the cooked rice along
with the reserved mushroom liquid and the chicken stock. Bring to a
boil, lower the heat, season with salt and pepper to taste and stir in
the tomato paste. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Pur=82e in batches
in a blender or food processor; the soup should not be too smooth.
