Dried porcini mushroom soup with meat and vermicelli - the most delicious recipe
Great simple recipe for every day. The main thing is to stock up on boletus mushrooms, boletus mushrooms, honey mushrooms, or any other representatives of the forest kingdom during the summer season.
But in this recipe we will use the most delicious ones - white ones. Soups with them always turn out great!
We will need:
- dried white – 30 g
- beef bones – 250 gr
- onion – 1 pc.
- carrots – 1 pc.
- celery root – 50 g
- parsley – 3-4 sprigs
- vermicelli thin “spider web” – 30-40 g
- vegetable oil – 1-2 tbsp. spoons
- butter – 1 tbsp. spoon (or melted)
- sour cream - 3 heaped tablespoons
- salt to taste
Preparation:
1. Wash the meat bones, add cold water and cook. When boiling, and during cooking, remove the foam so that the broth turns out transparent. Cook over low heat until cooked, that is, until the meat comes off the bone.
This may take about 2 hours, the time depends on the type and quality of meat.
It can be taken of any variety. It turns out delicious with pork and beef, as well as with chicken broth.
2. Soak dried boletus in warm water and let stand for 30 minutes.
3. Cut the onion into cubes. Grate the carrots and celery root using a Korean carrot grater or a regular one. Or you can simply cut them into very small strips.
4. Fry the onion in a frying pan, adding oil. Then add chopped carrots and celery root. Fry lightly, then pour broth from the pan and simmer over low heat.
5. When the meat is cooked, remove it with a slotted spoon, and strain the broth through a colander and cheesecloth so that no bones accidentally get into it.
6. Cut the soaked boletus into slices and place in a pan with broth. Do not throw away the water in which they were soaked; it can be added instead of the boiled water in which the meat was cooked. To do this, you will need to strain it and bring it to a boil.
7. Remove the meat from the bones, cut it and return it to the broth.
8. When they are ready, put the stewed onions and roots into the pan. Add salt to taste.
9. Separately, boil small vermicelli in salted water; the “spider web” variety is very suitable for this. You can cook with pasta, but keep in mind that it boils a lot, so you need to add it just a little so that the soup does not turn into pasta porridge. When the vermicelli is ready, drain the water and add it to a common pan.
10. Dilute sour cream in a small amount of water and pour into boiling broth. Mix well until smooth.
11. Before turning off, add butter or ghee. It will give the broth and soup in general an appetizing rustic aroma and an incredible delicate taste.
12. You can serve the soup with chopped herbs, or just like that. The soup already has enough of everything.
The cooking process is not entirely simple, but the soup itself is tasty, nutritious, and always eaten with great pleasure. So cook and eat healthy!
How to dry mushrooms at home
Peel and wash mushrooms for drying at home, cut large parts of mushrooms: caps into slices about 3x3 cm, stems into circles. String the chopped parts of the mushrooms on a strong thread - the caps separately, as they dry faster, the stems - separately.
Hang the threads with mushrooms in a dry, sunny place with a distance from each other. Cover with gauze to protect against insects. Keep in the sun for 7-9 days, putting the finished dry mushrooms into jars. Store in glass jars in a dry, dark place. This way mushrooms can be stored for up to 5 years.
How to dry mushrooms in the oven
Cut the mushrooms as for drying on strings, arrange them in 1 layer on a baking sheet (or 2 baking sheets), using baking paper. Dry the mushrooms for 2.5 hours at a temperature of 25 degrees, the next 2 hours at a temperature of 70 degrees, then another 2 hours at a temperature of 55 degrees. In order for the mushroom moisture to come out of the oven, the oven door is opened slightly.
Then you should check the mushrooms for readiness: a properly dried mushroom is dense, elastic, does not crumble or break. An under-dried mushroom is rubbery and soft. If you haven’t completely dried the mushrooms, you can later hang them in the kitchen on strings for final drying, which in this case will take 2-3 days.
Tip: when cutting mushroom caps for drying, keep in mind that in the future they will need to be strung on a thread - so that the mushroom slice does not crumble when cutting, provide a little lint-free dense part of the cap for each slice.
Mushroom soup with dried honey mushrooms and pearl barley - a classic recipe
This option can be prepared with both fresh and dried honey mushrooms. If they are fresh, then you should take 150 grams more of them. But we will not be distracted from the topic and will cook with dried ones.
In general, the variety does not matter much, but, of course, if you have “noble varieties”, then it is better to give preference to them.
We will need:
- dried honey mushrooms – 100 g
- pearl barley – 2/3 cup
- potatoes – 4-5 pcs.
- onion – 1 pc.
- butter – 2 tbsp. spoons
- salt - to taste
- sour cream - for serving
- fresh herbs - for serving
Preparation:
1. Rinse pearl barley thoroughly under running water. Then pour a glass of hot water and steam. This will help cook it faster.
2. Pour boiling water over dried honey mushrooms, then rinse and add cold water. Leave to swell for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2-3 hours.
3. Then cook the broth using honey mushrooms, using the same water. There is no need to make the fire high; it is better to cook over low heat, at a very low boil. Simmer until done.
4. Then drain the broth through a colander, but do not pour it out; we will use it in the future. Allow the mushrooms to cool and cut into slices.
5. Chop the onion and fry in butter until golden brown. There is no need to make the fire high; the onions should simmer rather than fry.
6. Add chopped honey mushrooms and fry everything together.
7. Add fried onions with honey mushrooms and barley to the broth, strained through cheesecloth and brought to a boil.
8. Add potatoes cut into small cubes or cubes. Then add salt to taste. Cook until all ingredients are ready.
9. Pour into plates, sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs and season with fresh sour cream.
This soup is super tasty and super healthy. We will read about the beneficial properties of our main ingredient today, but pearl barley has no less beneficial properties. Of all the known cereals, it is credited with almost all the advantages that all cereals combined have.
And it’s not for nothing that its name comes from the word “pearl” - pearl. Most likely, the cereal was so named not only because of its similarity to this rare jewel, but also because of the useful components that it contains.
How long to soak
With different methods of drying raw fruiting bodies, their pulp has unequal density, so it takes different amounts of time to soak it.
The duration of soaking dried boletus mushrooms before cooking depends on how the product was dried:
- Boletus mushrooms dried in the sun or in a warm room have more tender flesh, so it is enough to soak them for 30 minutes or 1 hour;
- if drying was carried out in an oven at a low temperature, then it is recommended to keep the dry product in liquid for about 2–4 hours;
- Boletus mushrooms, dried as a result of sudden exposure to high temperatures, have especially hard flesh, so it is better to soak them overnight.
Soaked dried mushrooms need to be checked periodically to understand how much longer they need to be kept in the liquid. As soon as the mushrooms swell and become soft to the touch, they are used for cooking.
Important! When soaked, the size of dried porcini mushrooms increases several times, so it is recommended to take no more than one handful of the product to prepare one dish.
Soup with dried mushrooms and dumplings in chicken broth
If you are a fan of first courses with dumplings or dumplings, then this is the place for you. And if the dish is cooked with chicken broth, it will actually be a “song”. Although you can cook with any meat or even vegetable broth.
Dried forest delicacies will provide the desired fat and good taste.
We will need:
- dried mushrooms – 100 gr
- or fresh – 200 gr
- chicken – 300 gr
- potatoes – 2-3 pcs.
- egg – 1-2 pcs (depending on size)
- flour – 2-3 tbsp. spoons
- salt - to taste
- greens - for serving
Preparation:
1. Boil light chicken broth. Boil whole potatoes together with the chicken. Remove the chicken from the broth and let it cool. If they were on the bone, then remove them and cut the meat into portions.
But I like to just divide it into small fibers, or cut it into small cubes, and then you get a lot of meat.
When ready, remove the potatoes.
2. While it is hot, crush it into puree, beat in the eggs and add flour, salt and mix. This should be dough for dumplings.
The composition of the products for this is indicated approximately, since everything depends on the size of the potatoes. Therefore, do not add everything at once, but mix in little by little and watch the consistency.
3. If you cook from dried mushrooms, you must first soak them for 30 minutes in slightly warm water. Then cut into pieces and dip into chicken broth. Cook until fully cooked. Salt the broth to taste.
If they are fresh, they should be thoroughly washed and cleaned. Cut into pieces and add to the broth. As soon as they begin to boil, foam will appear; it must be carefully removed, and this must be done until it is over.
4. When they are cooked, either fresh or dried, prepare two teaspoons.
5. Using them, form dumplings and lower them into the boiling broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
6. Then turn off the heat, pour chopped herbs into the soup and close the lid tightly. Let stand for 5 minutes. Then pour into plates and taste with pleasure.
This is such a delicious soup we got.
The right choice of porcini mushrooms
You should not purchase boletus mushrooms from strangers, especially in areas where their growth is random. The optimal place of purchase is a market or supermarket; the seller must have a certificate for the product. The shelf life of mushrooms, depending on storage conditions, is from 6 hours to 5 days; they should be in dry trays or boxes; packaged mushrooms should not be visually damp.
There should be no mucus on the legs and caps, and the flesh should spring back when pressed.
Comparative table of the composition of nutrients in various fresh mushrooms, per 100 g:
View | Calories | Carbohydrates | Squirrels | Fats |
White | 34 | 1,1 | 3,7 | 1,7 |
Chanterelles | 20 | 2,2 | 1,6 | 1,1 |
Butter | 19 | 1,7 | 2,4 | 0,7 |
Champignon | 27 | 0,1 | 4,3 | 1 |
When dried, the pulp loses moisture and the ratio changes. All values, except fat content, increase by approximately 12–14 times. Their number increases by an average of 7.5 times.

Let the forest meat cool slightly and then you can cut them into slices.
2. Finely chop the onion and roots and sauté into a piece of butter.
3. Prepare the dumplings. To do this, bring the milk to a boil, form a funnel in the middle with a spoon and pour semolina into it. Stir and cook the porridge over low heat. You should cook it for about 15 minutes, while making sure that it does not burn, that is, you need to stir it more often.
4. Remove the finished porridge from the heat and cool. Then beat in the egg and add the remaining oil. Mix thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is formed.

Borscht with dried honey mushrooms and sprats in tomato
Don’t be surprised, you can make real borscht with dried forest products. Yes, yes... it will be with cabbage, beets, everything as it should be. But instead of meat here we will use honey mushrooms and sprat in tomato for the broth.
Have you ever cooked borscht with fish? This is delicious. I advise you to prepare it. And if you want to learn how to cook classic borscht, follow the link. There is an article with a selection of recipes.
We will need:
- dried honey mushrooms – 100 g
- sprat in tomato – 1 can
- beans – 0.5 cups
- potatoes – 2-3 pcs.
- cabbage – 250-300 gr
- beets – 1 piece
- onion – 1 pc.
- carrots – 1 pc.
- parsley root – 1 piece
- tomato puree – 1 tbsp. spoon
- flour – 1 tbsp. spoon
- vegetable oil – 2 tbsp. spoons
- salt, pepper - to taste
- bay leaf – 1-2 pcs
- vinegar 9% – 0.5-1 teaspoon (or 0.5 lemon)
- sour cream - for serving
- fresh herbs - for serving
Preparation:
1. Soak the beans overnight in water at room temperature.
2. Pour boiling water over the honey mushrooms and rinse thoroughly, then soak in warm water for 30-40 minutes. Drain the water and cut them into small pieces.
3. Strain the broth through cheesecloth, bring the contents to 2 liters and put on fire. Once it boils, add beans and honey mushrooms. Cook until half cooked.
4. Cut all vegetables, onion into cubes, carrots, parsley root into strips, potatoes into cubes. Grate the beets on a coarse grater.
5. Fry the onion in a frying pan, add carrots and parsley root. Fry lightly, then add flour, wait until it is lightly fried and pour in the broth from the soup. Reduce heat and simmer vegetables until soft.
6. Then add tomato puree, and soon the beets. Simmer everything together until done. Finally add vinegar or lemon juice.
You don’t have to add tomato puree, since we have sprat in tomato. But I add it to make the borscht more rich and red. Tomato in sprat will give taste, but will not give color.
7. Now back to the soup, the beans and honey mushrooms are almost ready and you can add cabbage and potatoes to them. Cook until done.
The time will depend on the variety and age of the cabbage. If it is young, then it will be enough to cook it for 15 minutes, and if it is old, then it will take a little longer.
8. Then add all the stewed vegetables and sprat along with the tomato. Let it boil and add salt to taste. Add bay leaf.
We did not salt the soup earlier, since all dishes with legumes are salted at the end of cooking, about 10 minutes before the end.
9. Cook everything together for another 7-10 minutes. Then turn it off and let it brew for 10 minutes.
10. Chop the greens. Pour the borscht into bowls, sprinkle with herbs and season with sour cream. If desired, you can add ground black pepper.
This borscht is tasty even without honey mushrooms, but it is they that give it the additional aroma and taste that make it unforgettable.
