Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine mushrooms with 2½ cups water in 4- or 6-cup saucepan, and turn heat to medium-high. Bring to boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture simmers gently. Cook until mushrooms are tender, 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Remove mushrooms with slotted spoon, and place in container of blender. Strain liquid from pan through a paper towel placed in a sieve, or through a couple layers of cheesecloth; there will be about 1 cup. Add most of the liquid to the mushrooms, and puree, adding remaining liquid, if necessary. (Reserve some liquid, if making a risotto or grain dish.)

  3. Step 3

    Season to taste with salt and pepper; serve, or cover and refrigerate. Bring back to room temperature before serving.
