Potato Soup With Wild Mushrooms Recipes

POTATO MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Rinse the mushrooms clean and pat them dry. Trim off and discard any dried stem ends. Roughly chop the mushrooms (don't be too fussy about the chopping; they get pureed in the end).
• In a large pot, melt the butter or heat the oil over medium-high heat. Increase the heat to high and add the mushrooms and salt. Cook, stirring frequently until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop the onion and the garlic. Add the onion to the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop the potatoes.
• Add the sherry to the pot and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until all the vegetables are extremely falling-apart tender, about 10 minutes.
• Use a handheld blender to completely puree the soup. Or carefully whirl it in batches in a blender or food processor. In any case, process the soup much longer than you think is necessary-at least 2 or 3 minutes for each batch-to get a supremely smooth texture.
• Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• Serve the soup hot, garnished as you like with freshly chopped parsley, chives, or thyme, for example.
• Enjoy.
