Gula Gula (funnily meaning sugar sugar in Malay) restaurants are an extremely popular chain of restaurants that started from one little place in Leblon expanding to today 12 locations in and around Rio. They serve a fresh and varying menu with lots of great traditional and special salads and a choice of grilled meat and fish that you can choose your sides with. I visited today the one in São Conrado.
I found their recipe for this mushroom soup in one of the cooking journals – absolutely delicious.
Mushroom Soup for 4
- 2 onions diced
- 2 cloves of garlic pressed
- knob of butter
- 250g button mushrooms diced
- 100g Shiitake mushrooms (or Porcini)
- 100g Shimeji mushrooms (or Oyster or Chanterelles)
- 100ml white wine
- 600ml vegetable stock
- 600ml cream
- salt, pepper, fresh parsley
Fry the onion and garlic in butter. Add the button mushrooms and fry for 4minutes. Add the remaining mushrooms and fry for another 4minutes. Add wine and allow to evaporate before adding vegetable stock. Simmer for 10minutes, than add the cream and simmer on very low heat for 20minutes. Blend liquid with half of the mushrooms. Add remaining mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and serve garnished with fresh parsley.
