Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 ounces dried porcini mushrooms (1 cup)
6 cups tepid water plus 2 cups hot water, divided
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 stick unsalted butter
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds white mushrooms, sliced or quartered
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill

Steps:

  • Soak porcini in 2 cups hot water 15 minutes.
  • Cook onion in butter with 1 teaspoon salt in a heavy medium pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Add celery, carrot, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer porcini with a slotted spoon to pot and strain soaking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large glass measure. Add white mushrooms to pot with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, remaining 6 cups water, and porcini-soaking liquid. Simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes.
  • Purée 1 cup vegetables and 1 cup liquid in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids), then return to pot. Stir in parsley, dill, and salt to taste.

This soup was delicious! I loved the earthy flavor of the porcini mushrooms and the creamy texture of the soup. I also appreciated that the recipe was easy to follow and didn't take too long to make. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the texture was watery. I think I made a mistake by using dried porcini mushrooms instead of fresh ones. I also think I should have added more salt and pepper. I would not recommend this recipe

This soup was just okay. The flavor was good, but I found the texture to be a bit too thick. I think I would have preferred it if I had blended the soup until it was smooth. I also think it would have been better if I had used fresh porcini mushrooms

This soup was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if I had used less butter and cream. However, the flavor of the porcini mushrooms was excellent. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would make some adjustments
