Instructions

Cucumber Water

  • In a pitcher, combine cold water and thinly sliced cucumber.
  • Let the cucumber water sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Serve the cucumber water in glasses with ice cubes and cucumber slices for garnish

French Onion and Mushroom Soup:

  • Melt together the butter, onions, and honey in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 10 minutes. At this point, you want to slowly add the wine, a little at a time until the wine cooks into the onions. Continue to cook another 10-15 minutes until you've used the wine and the onions are deeply caramelized.
  • Add the garlic, mushrooms, thyme, and sage. Season with salt and pepper, cook another 3-4 minutes. Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and return the soup to a simmer, simmer 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and discard. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400° degrees F. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes, until very dry. Switch the oven to broil.
  • Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Add a slice of bread to each, and top evenly with cheese. Place each soup bowl on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven, broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with fresh thyme.

Herby Buttered Balsamic Mushroom Ravioli:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the ravioli.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the shallots and cook until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes or until golden, stir and continue cooking until the mushrooms have caramelized, 3-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, garlic, thyme, and sage. Cook, stirring occasionally until the garlic is caramelized and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the balsamic and a splash (about 1/4 cup) of the pasta cooking water. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and discard the garlic cloves.
  • Divide the ravioli among bowls and spoon the mushroom sauce over top. Garnish with fresh herbs. Enjoy with soup and cucumber water!
