Description

 

A rich and creamy soup with the earthy flavor of porcini mushrooms, accented by the nutty depth of Parmesan cheese. Perfect for a cozy meal, this soup combines savory ingredients for a hearty, comforting dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dried porcini mushrooms
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, soak the dried porcini mushrooms in hot water for 20 minutes. Drain, then chop the mushrooms into smaller pieces.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth and milk, stirring to combine.
  • Add the soaked and chopped porcini mushrooms to the pot and bring the soup to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, you can blend the soup with an immersion blender or regular blender (if you prefer a creamy consistency).
  • You can use a combination of fresh and dried mushrooms for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a full meal.
