Cut Mushrooms for Tortilla Soup

Video Transcript

"Our next step is going to be to add our button mushrooms to our sauté that we got going on here. These are just fresh white button mushrooms. It's kind of what's in season right now. They're inexpensive and just have a really great flavor. You can use portabella mushrooms; you can use crimini. There's all sorts of things you can use so don't limit yourself. Another thing is if you can't get fresh mushrooms wherever you're located. I know that some places it is hard to get fresh mushrooms. You can use dried mushrooms. If you use dried mushrooms, the only difference would be to add it after you get the chicken stock into the pan. That will help reconstitute them. Sometimes they take about 30 minutes to reconstitute. I'm going to go ahead and add that to my mixture in the pan. I'm going to give it a good stir to make sure everything gets nice and coated."
