Funges (mushrooms and leeks)

"Take funges, and pare hem clene and dyce hem. Take leke, and shred hym small and do hym to seeth in gode broth. Color it with safron, and do there-inne powder fort."

Wash and chop about 1 1/2 pounds of mushrooms (crimini, portabella, or simiar) and 1 large leek, the white and light green parts. Simmer them tender in a cup or less of chicken broth.  Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper or less, and 1/4 tsp. ginger.  The saffron is superfluous, and expensive. A sprinkle of sugar is nice too.

I'm sure any other member of the onion family would be good here  in lieu of leeks.
