Gourmets claim that the most delicious mushroom soup is made from dried wild mushrooms. It is the properly dried and then soaked dry mushroom that gives the first dish a special rich aroma, creating a unique atmosphere of home comfort. Do you remember how your mood lifts when the delightful smell of forest gifts spreads throughout your apartment? And then, at the table, it’s nice to remember a summer trip to the forest and tell a fascinating story about how unique specimens were found.
The value of dried mushrooms is that they are champions in preserving the real natural aroma compared to salted, pickled, fried ones. Many housewives always prepare dried mushrooms, grind them, and then add them as a secret ingredient to soups made from frozen and even fresh mushrooms.
Subtleties of making dry mushroom soup
Making soup is quite simple, although you will have to follow a few rules. Most soups are made from fresh or frozen mushrooms. We have already become acquainted with their recipes. Today we’re all about the intricacies of preparing the first course from dried forest products.
- For cooking, take any dried forest gifts - white boletus, boletus, aspen (they are usually used for winter harvesting).
- Don't refuse to experiment. Many famous recipes advise adding cheese and cream, which give the dish a special tenderness and taste.
- If you decide to add pasta or noodles to the dish, heat it in a dry frying pan, then they will better retain their shape and not boil over. Spread in a thin layer and keep on low heat until lightly golden. Remember to stir the pasta constantly.
- Don’t rush to pour it straight away, let the soup sit on the stove for a while to brew.
How to soak mushrooms
Before cooking, the “drying” must be soaked. To do this, pour cold water over the mushrooms and leave to soak for 1.5-2 hours.
If there is no time to wait, use boiling water, then the workpiece will become soft after 20-30 minutes. Then the soaked mushrooms are cut into pieces and added to the soup.
Do not throw away the water in which the mushrooms have soaked. Strain it through double cheesecloth, then place it in a saucepan, the dish will become more aromatic.
Mushroom soup made from dried mushrooms - classic recipe (step by step)
Here is a classic first course, which, once mastered, will allow you to prepare soup with any toppings. You can add rice, semolina, pearl barley, barley, buckwheat, dumplings, and vermicelli. The soup turns out to be lean, suitable for dietary nutrition and fasting.
Take:
- Dry mushrooms – 50 gr.
- Potatoes – 3 tubers.
- Bulb.
- Carrot.
- Bay leaf, salt, peppercorns.
In a classic mushroom picker, seasonings are placed very carefully so as not to drown out the taste and aroma of forest gifts. Personally, I don’t always add pepper and bay leaves.
Step by step recipe:
First of all, soak the mushrooms. Fill them with water and leave for about two hours.
Drain the infusion and squeeze out the mushrooms. Cut into pieces.
Strain the infusion through a sieve or double layer of gauze and pour into a saucepan. If you are sure of cleanliness, then use a sieve, but keep in mind that sand may remain at the bottom.
Add water to the infusion, place it on the burner, and wait until it boils.
At the same time, peel and chop the potato tubers into small cubes.
Chop the onion.
Chop the carrots in the same way.
First sauté the onion slices in a small amount of sunflower oil. Then add the carrots. Fry together over moderate heat for about 5-6 minutes. Don't forget to stir the contents.
It’s up to you to decide whether to roast it or not. Previously, in the villages the mushroom mushroom was not fried. As a result, the dish became much healthier, and the taste did not suffer from this. If you decide not to fry, add raw vegetables immediately along with the mushrooms.
When the water in the pan boils, add the mushrooms. Add peppercorns and bay leaves.
At maximum heat, wait until it boils and adjust the heat. Cook with a gentle gurgling sound for 10 minutes.
Take out the bay leaves. Toss potatoes instead. Let it boil, then reduce the heat again. Boil the soup for another 10 minutes.
Remove the fried vegetables from the pan and stir the dish. Add a little salt, but we will finally add salt at the end of cooking.
Continue cooking for another 10 minutes at a gentle simmer. Taste the soup for salt and adjust if necessary. If you are satisfied with everything, let the dish boil vigorously, turn off the heat. I advise you to let the mushroom picker stand for a while without opening the lid. After 10-15 minutes, apply and enjoy. Bon appetit!
Cream of mushroom soup with sour cream
The rich mushroom flavor in this recipe is achieved by using different mushrooms. Don't be afraid to use dried, fresh and frozen mushrooms in the same recipe. The cream soup turns out very tender and aromatic.
- 300 g mushrooms;
- 1 large onion;
- 1 liter of milk;
- butter and vegetable oil for frying;

We use a lot of mushrooms in this recipe because... There are no potatoes, pearl barley or other fillers in it. Both wild mushrooms and a mixture of wild mushrooms and porcini are suitable for this soup.
Soak dry mushrooms and rinse. Boil together with fresh and frozen mushrooms, strain. Then fry with onions in a mixture of butter and vegetable oil. Grind with a blender.
At the beginning of grinding, while the mushrooms are still large, set aside 5 spoons to put them in the finished soup. Continue beating the rest of the mixture, gradually adding milk and mushroom broth in small portions until smooth.
Transfer the resulting cream soup into a saucepan, add salt and pepper. If necessary, add more milk and mushroom broth, add the remaining pieces of mushrooms, and bring to a boil. Serve cream soup with croutons, sour cream and fresh parsley.
