Fresh porcini mushroom soup with potatoes

A very hearty, royally aromatic soup made from fresh porcini mushrooms with potatoes is worth making at least once at the beginning of autumn. After all, this is when the "quiet hunting" season begins, and forest mushrooms, which have a particularly pronounced original flavor, start appearing in stores.

Cooking time: 50 minutes.

Yield: 5 servings of 2.5 l. of soup.

Caloric content: 85 kcal per 100 grams of the dish.

Ingredients

• fresh porcini mushrooms - 300 g;
• potatoes - 700 g;
• onion - 100 g;
• juicy carrot - 100 g;
• butter (82%) - 50 g;
• ground dill - medium bunch;
• salt - about 0.5 tablespoons (adjust to taste).

Preparation

1. Prepare the ingredients for making soup from fresh porcini mushrooms.

2. First, clean the porcini mushrooms with a knife from dirt and debris, then rinse under running water and cut into pieces that are convenient to serve in a bowl.

3. Pour them into a pot and add 2 liters of water (you can increase the amount, but then the soup will be more liquid). Turn on the stove.

4. Meanwhile, slice the carrot into thin sticks and chop the onion.

5. Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the chopped vegetables.

6. Sauté everything until slightly soft.

7. At this point, the mushroom broth will begin to boil and form foam - it should be collected and removed.

8. Now, the soup should be salted. Any spices here would be unnecessary – they overpower the sweet taste and bright aroma of the porcini. Therefore, it is better not to add them.

9. Cook the porcini mushrooms for 20 minutes, and meanwhile, dice the potatoes.

10. After the specified time, transfer the potatoes to the pot. This time, cook the soup for another 20 minutes.

11. Add the creamy vegetable sauté. Cook for another 5 minutes.

12. Chop the dill.

13. Add it to the pot. After a minute, turn off the stove.

Served in bowls, the fresh porcini mushroom soup with potatoes exudes the amazing aroma of a mushroom forest. The broth itself (which is the most important indicator of a delicious soup) turns out to be sweet, hearty, and very filling.
