DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat the white wine in a saucepan to cook off the alcohol and reduce by 2/3.

2. Place the Porcini mushrooms, cream, and milk in a very high speed blender. Blend for 5 minutes until there is just an emulsion and no solid matter.

3. Add the wine and blend for another 2 minutes.

4. Add the red wine vinegar until you can taste that the vinegar and cream are in balance (i.e. the cream no longer tastes heavy).

5. Blend for a further 5 minutes or until the soup has the consistency of a foam.

6. Put 1 dried Porcini mushroom in a food processor and pulse until you have the consistency of loose dirt. Sprinkle on top of the soup.
