Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to cook a classic mushroom soup-puree of champignons with cream? Prepare the products. Buy snow-white medium-sized champignons without stains, damage and the smell of rot. They should not be slippery to the touch. Rinse the mushrooms under running water from the ground. If there is, cut out the damaged places.
Step 2:
Spread the washed mushrooms on a towel that will absorb excess moisture. Clean the large mushrooms (it is enough to wash the small ones). Cut them into small cubes. Cut two mushrooms into thin plates. We will need them for decoration.
Step 3:
Peel the onion from the husk and finely chop it. So that when slicing onion juice does not irritate the mucous membrane of the eyes so much, moisten the onion and knife with cold water.
Step 4:
Melt the butter in a frying pan (you do not need to heat it up too much, it may start to burn), put the mushrooms and onions.
Step 5:
Fry everything together with constant stirring over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. Separately fry the plates of champignons until golden, with which you will decorate the dish before serving.
Step 6:
Pour filtered water into a saucepan, put on fire and bring to a boil. The specified amount of water can be increased or decreased at will. It all depends on whether you want to get a thick or more liquid soup. Be sure to take high-quality filtered or bottled water, as tap water can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste. Put the pan on the fire.
Step 7:
When the water in the pan boils, pour in the heavy cream (20%) and soy sauce. Cream can be taken of any fat content. But remember that the higher the fat content of the product, the higher the calorie content of the dish.
Step 8:
Stirring, bring the water and cream to a boil again.
Step 9:
Add the mushrooms fried with onions. Reduce the heat to minimum and cook the soup for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 10:
Take an immersion blender and puree the soup until smooth and smooth.
Step 11:
Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste and mix.
Step 12:
Pour the soup on plates. Garnish with fried mushrooms and herbs (parsley, dill). Serve to the table. You can additionally serve crackers to the soup. Bon appetit!
Important! Regardless of whether the amount of water for soup is indicated in the recipe or not, it is best to focus on your own preferences (thick or more liquid soup you like), as well as on the size of your pan and the products taken for cooking. Do not forget that the author has his own view on the amount of meat, potatoes, cereals and other ingredients in the soup, which may not coincide with yours. In practice, this means that if you are cooking for the first time, you should not cook a whole pot at once. Make a soup for tasting - for one or two people. To do this, reduce the amount of all ingredients according to the recipe to 1-2 servings, and take the amount of water from the calculation: from one cup per serving - if the soup is very thick, to 1.5-2 cups - if more liquid. Do not forget to take into account that part of the liquid will boil off during the cooking process. After tasting a small portion of soup, you can adjust both the amount of liquid and the proportions of ingredients to your taste. In the future, like most experienced housewives, you will be able to pour water for soup and lay the ingredients “by eye".
Instead of champignons, you can take dried mushrooms (they will need 5-6 times less than fresh ones). Do not forget to rinse them and then soak them before cooking (for about 2-3 hours).
