CROATIAN MUSHROOM SOUP
Steps:
- If you use dried mushroom soak in water them before use about 10-15 min. On a melted pig-fat sauté onion and bacon until it is soft. Add flour and sauté until the flour is brown, add very little paprika and after 30 sec. add cold water and stir to prevent coagulation. Add all the mushroom you have, salt, pepper and potato sliced in small cubes. Add water (cca 1 liter) and cook 1,5 hour (if water evaporate add some more). At the end add sour cream and parsley. REMEMBER all mushrooms are eatable, some of them only once!
Tips:
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than brown.
- Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Croatian mushroom soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is made with fresh mushrooms, vegetables, and herbs, and is simmered in a flavorful broth. The soup can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as bread, salad, or roasted vegetables.
