Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Clean the mushrooms and cut them into small pieces.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Peel the carrot and one small onion.

  3. Step 3:

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Once the broth is done, start caramelizing the onions. This takes a while — I cook them for about 50 minutes on "Fry" at 265°F (130°C), stirring constantly. In the last 5 minutes, add a tablespoon of flour and mix it in thoroughly.

  8. Step 8:

    The soup is ready — light and delicious, especially with dark rye croutons.
