Soup Baked in Clay Pots

A vegetable soup with meat and mushrooms baked in individual clay pots. Soup made this way in the oven is wonderfully tasty. All the ingredients go into the pots raw — only the meat and onion get browned first for a deeper flavor. Once the oven is off, you can leave the pots inside for a while if you're making the soup ahead. When serving, stir a tablespoon of sour cream into each pot for an even richer taste.

  • Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point, where it starts to burn and form harmful compounds, including carcinogens. For how to gauge frying temperature and choose the best oil for the job (and which to skip entirely), see here.
  • Buy fresh, medium-sized mushrooms that are snowy white, with no spots, damage, or off smell. They shouldn't feel slippery. Rinse them well under warm or cold running water to wash off any grit, and trim away any bad spots. Tiny mushrooms under about 3/4 inch (2 cm) don't need peeling — just rinse them well. For larger mushrooms, it's best to peel off the thin skin.
  • Keep in mind that every oven is different, so the temperature and cooking time may vary from what's given here. For any baked dish to come out well, it helps to know your own oven's quirks!
