The best soup is made from porcini mushrooms. They, along with milk mushrooms and saffron milk caps, are among the three most valuable and nutritious mushrooms. But, if desired, they can be changed to others. These can be champignons, boletus, and boletus.
I think it’s obvious that the most flavorful soup will be one made with freshly picked mushrooms. Although, depending on the season, it is possible to prepare an appetizing first course of dried, frozen or canned mushrooms. The cooking procedure itself does not change fundamentally. Let's consider several options, as well as tips and recommendations for preparation.
In rich broth
Mushroom soup, or, as it is called, mushroom soup, is a very satisfying and appetizing dish. There are a huge number of recipes for mushroom soup made from a variety of types of mushrooms, using chicken, cream and many other interesting ingredients, so every connoisseur of the mushroom diet will definitely find a recipe for mushroom soup to suit their taste and preferences.
This article tells you how to properly cook delicious wild mushroom soup and offers many recipes for this interesting dish.
Garlic
One of the most versatile and affordable ways to emphasize and enrich the taste of most dishes. Garlic has found its place among vegetable dishes, among meat dishes and, of course, in combination with mushrooms. It is known that garlic reveals its best taste during stewing or frying, so when sautéing onions and carrots in soup, do not spare a clove of garlic, finely chopped and added to the onion at the end of frying. A minute spent cooking garlic will highlight the piquancy of your mushroom soup and give it an unsurpassed, mouth-watering aroma.
Preliminary preparation
Before you cook soup from freshly collected forest treasures, they must be carefully prepared for further culinary processing.
- Try to collect only young, dense and healthy specimens of mushrooms; do not take too wormy or overripe fruiting bodies.
- At home, carefully sort through the collected forest gifts, clean them of forest debris and dirt and, if necessary, remove damaged fragments with a knife. The stickiest stains can be scraped off with a knife or removed with an old toothbrush.
- Then rinse the mushrooms thoroughly but quickly under running water.
- Separate the caps from the stems and cut the fruiting bodies into equal pieces.
These rules apply to mushrooms that are definitely edible. If you are going to use species belonging to the conditionally edible group for making soup, then you need to take into account that they usually use a more complex system of preliminary preparation, including special soaking and boiling. Therefore, you need to find out in advance exactly how to prepare this particular type of conditionally edible mushrooms for the culinary process.
On a note
More than ever, in addition to other spices, croutons grated with garlic are perfect for mushroom soup. You can either slice and dry the bread in a toaster, or fry the bread in a frying pan, generously rubbing the croutons with garlic. You can also add cheese and spices mixed with mayonnaise. You won't find a more satisfying combination.
Experienced chefs advise being more careful when using mushrooms to make soup or prepare this or that dish. For example, champignons or oyster mushrooms, one of the most popular mushrooms in home cooking, require a minimal amount of spices, since these mushrooms are very delicate, and in themselves they have a pronounced taste and appetizing aroma.
But for mushroom soup made from porcini mushrooms, saffron milk caps, and chanterelles, you practically don’t need any seasonings, just a drop of herbs and a little bay leaf, a pinch of white pepper. These mushrooms do not tolerate a lot of seasoning.
And speaking of bitter varieties of mushrooms, professional chefs advise adding a large amount of herbs.
So we told you about the best seasonings for mushroom soup. It’s amazing how simple spices can reveal the taste of equally simple, familiar ingredients, and how competently and deliciously herbs and spices highlight the aroma and taste of mushrooms.
Choosing the right pan
For preparing classic mushroom soups with chicken or vegetable broth, stainless steel, enameled, coated aluminum, ceramic and glass pans are best suited.
Cast aluminum and uncoated cast iron pans are usually not intended for cooking, but for stewing or frying in them, with a minimum amount of fat.
Modern cookware with enamel or non-stick coating can be safely used for preparing first courses.
Calculating the required volume of a pan for the required number of eaters is not at all difficult using the formula - one liter of volume per person, plus another liter on top for foam, freedom of stirring and boiling.
Recipes
Below are some easy mushroom soup recipes.
Mediterranean herbs
In particular, Provencal and Italian have a refreshing taste; summer soups and mushroom broth with their combinations are the most appetizing first courses. If you are a fan of cold mushroom soup, you should try it with a pinch of oregano. Rosemary is great for hot serving, and thyme if you love mushroom soup with sour cream.

Mushroom soup can be prepared from many types of mushrooms, but it is especially tasty and aromatic from white ones. It is perhaps difficult to imagine a more “summer” first course than freshly picked mushroom soup. But even in winter, such a soup can be prepared; champignons or dried mushrooms are great for it.
To prepare the soup, you need to sort out the mushrooms, rinse thoroughly with running cold water and peel them. It is fashionable to cut large ones into pieces, small ones are placed whole in the broth. After preparing the broth, it is fashionable to catch the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and fry them, and then add them back to the soup. Fans of dietary dishes can do without frying. If you plan to put dried mushrooms in the soup, then you should first soak them in cold water for 3-4 hours, and only then cook them.
To cook mushroom soup, you will need a saucepan of suitable size and a frying pan for frying the mushrooms or vegetables themselves (carrots, onions).
Preparing this soup requires a minimum of time and effort, and the dish turns out tasty, aromatic and appetizing. The best addition to it would be white bread croutons fried in vegetable oil, a handful of chopped fresh herbs and a couple of spoons of sour cream, which will give the soup a special tenderness and a pleasant creamy taste.
500 g fresh champignons 2 medium onions 1 medium carrot 3 medium potatoes or 150-200 g vermicelli (preferably “spider web”) salt (to taste) herbs (to taste) sour cream (to taste)
Prepare mushroom broth. To do this, wash the champignons thoroughly and cut them into four parts. Place in a saucepan, pour in 2.5-3.0 liters of water, and place over medium heat. As soon as the broth begins to boil, skim off any foam that has formed with a spoon and reduce the heat. Cook for about 1 hour, periodically removing the foam, add salt. At this time, peel the carrots and onions, chop them finely and fry in vegetable or olive oil for 3-5 minutes. Then remove the mushrooms from the broth, cool slightly and finely chop. Add them to the carrots and onions and fry lightly. If you plan to cook soup with potatoes, then you need to peel it, cut it into cubes and put it in boiling broth, and when it is almost ready, add mushrooms and vegetables. If the soup is prepared with noodles, then mushrooms and vegetables are added first, the soup is simmered over low heat for 5-7 minutes, and then the vermicelli is added. Next, the soup is cooked for another 2 minutes, after which the pan is removed from the stove. Before serving, the dish should sit for at least half an hour; it is better to add sour cream and herbs not to the pan, but to the plate.
The highlight of this dish is that almost all the ingredients can be assembled or made yourself. This gives it a special, truly homely taste, and not to mention the delicious aroma of porcini mushrooms. Well, if you manage to get your hands on real country sour cream, rest assured that a pot of this mushroom soup will be eaten in one sitting!
500 g porcini mushrooms 2 onions 2 medium carrots 2.5-3 cups flour 50 ml vegetable oil water salt (to taste) herbs (to taste) sour cream (to taste)
Prepare the noodle dough: Place half the flour on a board and form a small well in the center. Pour oil and 100 ml of boiled water at room temperature mixed into it in a separate container. Lightly salt and knead the dough, which is thick enough to resemble liquid sour cream. Then gradually add the remaining flour until the dough becomes stiff enough. Roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin layer and cut into strips. Place the board with noodles in a warm place for several hours to dry.
When the noodles are ready, you can start preparing the mushroom broth. The mushrooms must be sorted, cleaned and washed thoroughly with cold running water. Then place them in a saucepan with 2.5-3 liters of water and cook over low heat for about 1 hour, periodically skimming off the foam, and add salt. After this, you need to place the noodles in the broth and cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes. At this time, fry finely chopped onion in a frying pan in vegetable oil and transfer it to the broth. Let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes, remove from heat, and leave for about half an hour. Serve the soup with sour cream, white bread croutons and finely chopped fresh herbs.

Rinse the mushrooms thoroughly under cold water, peel and cut into medium pieces. Boil in salted water for 40-45 minutes.

When the mushrooms are slightly browned, pour about 2 cups of mushroom broth into the frying pan, bring to a boil, add salt and pepper to taste.

Video about mushroom soup
Mushroom soup made from fresh mushrooms is one of the delicious varieties of first courses. Mushroom dishes are considered a recognized delicacy for most people. In Russia, mushrooms have always been at the head of the Lenten table.
Mushrooms are often called “forest meat”. They contain slightly less protein than meat, but more than cabbage and potatoes. But there is more fat than in beets, sugars and carbohydrates are almost as much as in the liver of an animal. There is more vitamin D than in butter.
To make the soup more tasty, you should boil the mushrooms properly. They should not be cooked on too low a heat or too high a heat. It is necessary to cook so that the broth only boils gently at a temperature of about 90-95 degrees C.
Mushrooms are difficult for the body to digest, so they should not be eaten by children.
Listen to the words that mushrooms have their own aromatic and taste qualities, so you should season the soup very sparingly. Seasoning that is too hot can drown out their specific taste.
