Ingredients

To prepare mushroom soup we will need:

Making mushroom soup

You can prepare soup either from whole mushrooms or from crushed parts, which are easy to obtain by simply breaking large mushrooms.

Some people prefer soup made from mushroom powder, which can be obtained by grinding dried mushrooms in a blender or coffee grinder. It turns out original puree, which is much easier to digest than whole mushroom soup, but still has the same nutritional value.

For richness, it is advisable to add a little grain to the soup. A handful of buckwheat or pearl barley works well for this. The cereal can be pre-fried in a dry frying pan. Although this recipe is not traditional, it also turns out very tasty.

Instead of cereal, you can add small pasta to the soup - stars or vermicelli filling.

In this recipe we will look at making soup with the addition of cereal.

1. Before starting cooking, dry mushrooms need to be filled with water and left to swell for 2.5-3 hours. Mushrooms soaked in water cook faster and turn out softer and tastier.

2. When the mushrooms are swollen, you can proceed directly to cooking. The water in which they were soaked must be filtered into a saucepan, then add clean water to 2/3 of the volume, add mushrooms, cereals and put on fire to cook.

For cooking, you can use meat broth prepared in advance. The soup will turn out even more satisfying and rich. But it will also contain more calories. If you are watching your figure, then you should take this into account.

Cook for 10-15 minutes (until the cereal is almost ready). Only after this add vegetables.

3. Wash the potatoes, peel them and cut them into small cubes, as shown in the photo below:

4. Peel and chop the onions with a knife, and grate the carrots.

Grinding carrots on a grater takes less time and grated carrots cook faster.

But, if you have a few extra minutes of time, it is better to cut the carrots into small slices. Such slices look much more beautiful on a plate.

You need to add chopped carrots to the pan a little earlier than grated carrots so that they cook properly and are not too harsh.

5. Some recipes advise that before the soup is ready, catch the mushrooms and fry them with onions, then add them back to the pan. Here we can advise you to focus on your taste. In any case, the soup will turn out very tasty.

1-2 minutes before complete readiness you need to throw a few peas into the soup allspice and add parsley. You can also add 1-2 bay leaves.

The soup should be served hot, placed in bowls and adding sour cream.
