Creamy Mushroom Soup With Chives

If you love food with an earthy flavor, this comforting soup recipe will be right up your alley. It's made with a combination of cremini and shiitake mushrooms, and also includes russet potatoes, which add starch and body without detracting from the rich, umami flavor. The hearty meal is tied together with a dollop of heavy cream. Serve it with some toasted sourdough bread, which will make the perfect dipping companion.

Tofu and Mushroom Larb

Larb is a traditional Laotian dish that is typically made with ground meat, but this vegetarian version uses tofu and sh*take mushrooms instead of ground beef or chicken. And to say you won't miss meat here is an understatement. This meat-free meal is packed with plenty of flavor thanks to fish sauce, lime juice, mint, scallions, shallots, and chiles. To make this dish vegan, use tamari instead of fish sauce. Serve this flavorful larb nestled in some cabbage leaves or alongside some glutinous rice.

Mushroom Pot Pie

This savory pie is perfect for those cold winter nights. You can use puff pastry to top the pie (easy enough!) which is filled with a hearty combination of cremini mushrooms, carrots, celery, onion, and frozen peas. Though this dish may sound daunting, we promise you can have it on the table in about an hour.

The whole meal is tied together thanks to a rich sauce made with butter, chicken stock, fresh lemon juice, and briney capers.

Wild Mushroom and Spinach Stuffed Shells

Thanks to the creamy, rich ricotta and meaty wild mushrooms, this baked pasta dish is hearty, satisfying, and the perfect cold-weather classic. You'll tie it all together with a quick homemade marinara sauce, spinach, and blanket of cheese.

Pasta With Chicken Sausage, Corn, Leeks, and Mushrooms

Nothing's better than a meal you can whip up from ingredients you already have lying around. Exhibit A: this back-pocket pasta recipe. It uses a short list of flavor-packed ingredients that are quick to cook and can be easily swapped, like Italian chicken sausage, short noodles (we love twisted shapes such as gemelli or casareche), and leeks.
