  • Peel the potatoes, cut them into pieces, salt them, and cook until tender — the smaller you cut them, the faster they'll cook. Peel the onion and carrot; finely chop the onion and grate the carrot. Melt the butter in a skillet and sauté the vegetables until golden. Meanwhile, wash the mushrooms and cut them into pieces. Add the mushrooms to the skillet with the vegetables and cook for about 10 minutes, adding a splash of water so they don't scorch. Transfer the sautéed vegetables and mushrooms to the pot with the potatoes and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes, then turn off the heat. Drain the broth from the pot, purée the solids with a blender, then pour the broth back in. Add ground black pepper to taste and the cream, stir, and bring the soup back to a boil. Take it off the heat and serve. It's lovely with a dollop of sour cream, fresh parsley, and croutons. Enjoy!
