Mushroom soup of dried porcini mushrooms with potatoes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook mushroom soup from dried porcini mushrooms with potatoes? Prepare the ingredients. This soup can be made from any mushrooms, but it turns out to be the most fragrant from white ones. I have homemade mushrooms that I dry in the oven. They turn out a little brownish, but they have a more pronounced mushroom taste.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour dried porcini mushrooms with 300ml of cold water and leave in a cool place for 12 hours.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut two potatoes into strips or large cubes, as you like. Put the potato straws in a bowl and cover with cold water so that the potatoes do not darken.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour 1.5 liters of water into a saucepan and put the remaining potatoes (I cut them in half, since it was large). Put the pan on medium heat, bring to a boil, add salt and boil until the potatoes are ready. This will take from 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the variety and size of the tuber.

5. Step 5:

   

   While the potatoes are cooking, take care of the mushrooms. Take them out of the water (do not pour out the water, it will be needed later) and cut them. I cut into large strips, as well as potatoes. If you cut potatoes into cubes, then you will do the same with mushrooms. So vegetables and mushrooms will be in better harmony. Pour half the oil into the pan and put the mushrooms.

6. Step 6:

   

   Fry them, stirring, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. This will give the mushrooms color and better reveal the flavor.

7. Step 7:

   

   After the mushrooms are fried, add them to the pot with potatoes. Pour in strained water after soaking the mushrooms and add the sliced potatoes. Bring everything to a boil and continue to cook over low heat.

9. Step 8:

   

   While the soup is cooking, make a roast. To do this, pour the remaining oil into the frying pan where the mushrooms were fried and put it on medium heat to warm up. Peel the onion and cut into cubes. Put the onion in a frying pan.

10. Step 9:

    

    Peel the carrots and grate them on a fine grater, add them to the frying pan with onions. You can also grate carrots on a coarse grater, it all depends on your taste.

11. Step 10:

    

    Mix everything and fry for 7 minutes, until the vegetables are ready.

12. Step 11:

    

    Add the roast to the soup.

13. Step 12:

    

    Remove the potatoes that were cooked whole from the pan and mash with a fork. Send it back to the pan. This will give the soup density and richness. Cook for a few more minutes until the potatoes are ready, which have been cut into strips.

14. Step 13:

    

    Wash the dill, dry it, chop it finely and put it in the soup. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Mushroom soup from dried porcini mushrooms is ready.

15. Step 14:

    

    Serve it to the table. Bon appetit!
