Dried mushroom soup

Ingredients

• Dried mushrooms (any or assorted) - 30 g
• Water (together with the one that went for soaking) - 0.75 l
• Potatoes - 4 pcs.
• Carrot - 1 pc.
• Onion - 1 pc.
• Butter - 40 g
• Drinking cream - 0.25 l
• Processed cheese - 40 g
• Salt, spices - to taste
• Dill - 1 tablespoon
• Rusks of rye or wheat bread, for serving

Directions

1. As a rule, I dry tubular mushrooms, cutting them for convenience and reducing the drying time into such pieces that are convenient for cooking. Sometimes agaric mushrooms also get into the dryer, like this time russula.
2. I pour boiling water over the mushrooms and leave them to swell under the lid
3. While the mushrooms are collecting water, I put butter in a frying pan heated over a fire.
4. I pass the pre-chopped onions, and as soon as it becomes soft, add the grated carrots to it and continue to pass the vegetables until they are ready.
5. Mushrooms swollen in boiling water I choose from a bowl to another
6. I filter the water in which the mushrooms were, add fresh water to it to the required amount, put the mushrooms into the pan and bring the contents of the pan to a boil
7. Then I put the pre-peeled and chopped potatoes in the pan and cook it until tender for 15 minutes.
8. Then I put the browned vegetables into the pan, stir the contents and cook for another 10 minutes. At this point, you need to remove a couple of already cooked mushrooms from the pan to decorate the soup when serving.
9. Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup.
10. Pour grated processed cheese into the soup
11. Before rubbing the cheese, it is advisable to place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes
12. Then I pour a glass of cream, mix everything, salt and pepper the soup to taste, bring it to a boil again.
13. Soup puree is ready. At this stage, you can immediately pour chopped dill into the soup, as I did, and boil the soup for a couple of minutes, or you can put the dill later on right before eating on a plate.
14. Bon appetit!
