I had it just Friday night (19 May) and it's haunting my dreams. I think there was barley in it? Or some kind of rice, not Arborio as it didn't swell... Maybe meat? It was so rich. Several kinds of mushrooms. I've searched online for recipes but can't find it.

Do you have access to Lidia's Italian Table by Lidia Bastianich? At pages 62-63, there is a recipe for Minestra di Funghi e Patate. The recipe includes porcini and assorted wild mushrooms, potatoes and other vegetables, and barley. I would include the recipe here but the directions are 2 pages long and it would take me forever to retype. (I could copy and mail it to you, if you like). The recipe does not look difficult to make; she just has very detailed instructions.

Thanks, Mary. I will look for this book and it sounds like the ingredients that were in the zuppa. Except maybe for the potatoes...

Anyway, if I can't find it, I'll post again and let you know. It would be very kind for you to mail it to me, but let me try to find it first.

I don't want to tread on copyright laws so i didn't copy it but if you go to www.foodtv.com you'll find a very interesting mushroom soup from Tyler Florence with roasted fennel and chestnuts. Just go to the site and type in mushroom soup for your search.
