Mushroom soup made from dried mushrooms.  How to deliciously cook dried porcini mushroom soup.  How to cook dried porcini mushroom soup

If we consider mushroom dishes, then soups occupy a special place in them. And this is not surprising, these forest delicacies are tasty, healthy, and according to many, they can easily replace meat.

They go well with almost all vegetables, cereals and legumes, and are prepared with meat, chicken, and fish. However, they are also tasty without meat products. By adding just a handful to any soup, we will make it even more aromatic, appetizing and tasty! Therefore, they are collected with pleasure in the forest, and with no less pleasure they cook and eat dishes from them.

In the last article we prepared, but today we will prepare them from dried ones. And you will be pleasantly surprised to learn that there are quite a lot of them, and they all suit different tastes. Therefore, everyone can find a recipe to their liking.

Which representatives of the forest kingdom can be used to make delicious soups? Of course, in the first place are the noble whites, the broth from them is light, and the aroma simply cannot be expressed in words, and it is probably not worth saying that its taste is simply incomparable.

But don’t forget about boletus, aspen, and chanterelles - they are no less noble and tasty than white ones. Each of them is good and tasty in its own way. Therefore, cook from those that you have stored and you won’t go wrong!

For soup you need very little of them, in some recipes from 30 to 100 grams. But when they lie in water and swell, they will increase in size several times.

You can soak them in cold or warm water. It will be enough to keep them in warm water for 30-40 minutes, but in cold water you will need to keep them for 2 to 3 hours. The mushrooms are boiled in the same water, so why waste them?

And to make dried forest delicacies taste like fresh ones, you can soak them in cold milk. Just don't forget to salt it.

However, let's not get ahead of ourselves. After all, each recipe will have a detailed step-by-step description. So let's get cooking.

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 for your health!

Classic recipe for mushroom soup with dried honey mushrooms and pearl barley

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.

Soup with dried mushrooms and dumplings in chicken broth

If you are a fan of first courses with dumplings, or, 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.

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 eat with pleasure.

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? This is delicious. I advise you to prepare it.

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 didn't salt the soup until about 10 minutes before finishing.

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.

Features and secrets of preparing delicious rich soups from dried mushrooms

Mushroom season will come very soon, which means we will prepare various dishes from this “forest meat”. After all, they can completely replace a number of food products. And although they contain significantly less protein than meat, they contain more than cabbage, or potatoes, or carrots; they contain more fat than beets; and there are almost as many carbohydrates and sugars as in the liver of animals.

And dried forest gifts contain twice as much protein as boiled eggs, more vitamin D than butter, and vitamin PP as much as liver. They contain a lot of B vitamins, and like no other product they contain a lot of microelements, including potassium, calcium, phosphorus, copper, zinc, and much more.

That is why this “forest meat” is especially useful. You can prepare a lot of delicious dishes from them, and replace meat and fish.


But today we're talking about dried mushroom soups, so let's focus on those. What are the features and secrets of their preparation?

  • They must be sorted before use. If there are slightly rotten or moldy specimens, then they should be thrown away without regret.
  • It happens that larvae hatch in them; such specimens cannot be eaten! They should also be thrown away without any regret!
  • The very first representatives of spring, as you know, are morels and strings. They are used to make light soups and prepare roasted soup. But not everyone knows that their decoction is poisonous and should not be eaten. You need to drain the broth if they are not only fresh, but also dried.
  • Mushrooms for drying cannot be washed, they only need to be thoroughly cleaned of dirt.


  • Before cooking, they should be doused with boiling water, then rinsed thoroughly, then filled with warm or cold water and allowed to swell
  • If you fill it with cold water, the swelling time will be 2 - 3 hours. And if warm, up to 30 - 40 minutes.
  • To keep them fresh, they can be soaked in salted milk.
  • they should be boiled in the same water in which they were soaked
  • It's better to cook them whole
  • After cooking, drain in a colander and then cut into pieces. And then continue cooking.
  • If you lightly fry them before boiling or stewing, they will be much tastier.


  • dried forest delicacies are better absorbed if they are crushed into powder. This powder can be added to any soups, sauces and main courses. The aroma and taste will be provided to each of them. And making the powder is quite simple, you just need to grind them in a coffee grinder.
  • The cooking time should be counted from the moment the water in which the mushrooms are boiled.
  • In order not to lose the flavor, you should not add spices, pepper and garlic to soups.
  • boletus and boletus, even when dried, give a rather dark color to the broth. Therefore, if you want to prepare a light broth, then boil them, then drain the broth, squeeze out the mushrooms, and add them to the finished soup.


And of course, do not forget that any mushrooms are quite difficult to digest. Therefore, despite the fact that we all love them, we shouldn’t get carried away with them, no matter how tasty the dish turns out!

Now that we have delicious and aromatic soup recipes, we know all the basic rules and secrets of their preparation, and we also know about the benefits and harms of consuming them, we will be able to cook and eat them only for our own benefit!

Bon appetit!

Dried porcini mushrooms can be purchased all year round. Compared to fresh ones, dried ones create a much richer flavor when cooked in vegetable broth. And only such an ingredient will allow you to use “mushroom dust” - a universal component for an unforgettably tasty soup.

Let's choose good mushrooms when purchasing. Their sure signs:

  • The thickness is at least 5 mm (a mushroom that is too thin crumbles when broken; it falls apart in the broth, adding an unappetizing turbidity).
  • Humidity: a well-dried mushroom both breaks and bends. Maintained elasticity is the key to a pleasant feeling from the soup. If the mushroom cracks with dust, it is overdried and will taste bitter in the broth. If the mushroom stretches and cannot break, it is not fully dried. In soup, such an ingredient will be slimy and rubbery.
  • Color - flesh-white or light yellow, solid, rich, without spots or stripes.

Making the perfect mushroom soup

We need simple products:

  • Dried porcini mushrooms - 200 grams
  • Mushroom infusion - 200 ml (obtained after soaking mushrooms)
  • Water for soup - 2.5 l
  • Butter - 30 grams
  • Sunflower oil - 50 ml
  • Onions - 1 pc. average size
  • Garlic - 2-3 cloves
  • Premium wheat flour - 3 tbsp. spoons
  • Cream (18-20% fat) - 125 ml
  • Salt – 1 teaspoon
  • Ground black pepper - 2-3 pinches
  • A sprig of parsley or thyme - for garnish when serving
  • For the vegetable broth: 1 carrot and 1 medium-sized onion, a piece of celery root (about 100 g), thyme (2 sprigs), bay leaf (2-3 pcs.), parsley (2 sprigs), black peppercorns (3 pcs.).

What are we doing:

Secret No. 1. For a delicious rich soup, the proportion of dried porcini mushrooms and water is 1 cup of broken mushrooms per 3 liters of water. If measured in grams, then this is about 70 grams of mushrooms.

Secret No. 2. Be sure to wash the mushrooms 2-3 times in running water, placing them in a colander. Remember, according to technology, mushrooms are not washed before drying, no matter where they are dried.

Secret No. 3. Soak the mushrooms before cooking. This will return the mushrooms' elastic texture, and the water will turn into a mushroom infusion - a valuable ingredient when cooking with dried mushrooms. In addition, soaked mushroom cooks 2 times faster (!)

The soaking proportion is 1 cup of mushrooms to 2 cups of water. Water temperature: so that the hand does not feel any contrast, neither cold nor hot. Soaking time - 30 minutes. Press the mushrooms down with a plate so they don’t float.

Secret No. 4. Remove the mushrooms after soaking with a slotted spoon.

Strain the water in which the mushrooms were soaked through 2 layers of gauze (in extreme cases, a very fine sieve). Mushroom infusion is ready!

Secret No. 5. Prepare vegetable broth - the base for mushroom soup from dried mushrooms. The main tip is to char the onions. To do this, remove only the top layer of dry husk from the onion, cut the vegetable in half and heat it, like on a grill, in a well-heated non-stick frying pan without oil. Look at the photo, we place the onion cut side down and fry for 2-3 minutes:

We should get a caramelized crispy cut (without burning!)

We clean and cut the carrots and celery as usual - into large pieces of 3-4 cm.

Heat water (2.5 l) and add root vegetables, half an onion, herbs and pepper. Cook the broth over low heat, lid closed (!) - about 30 minutes.

Secret No. 6. Frying mushrooms with vegetables and flour before sending them to the broth in a mixture of oils - butter and vegetable. Cut the onion into small cubes. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil and butter in a frying pan. spoons and 50 grams (cut into pieces). All the oil should dissolve.

First, fry the onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

The dried mushrooms have already been in the water for half an hour. We cut half of the mushrooms into small cubes (5 mm), and the other half into 2-3 cm cubes. We send the slices to a frying pan where the onions are fried.

For ease of cutting, press the garlic into small cubes and chop thoroughly with a knife. Add it to the pan at the moment when all the moisture has already evaporated.

Mushrooms have exceptional taste and aromatic qualities, which are especially pronounced not in fresh, but in dried form. The magical aroma is perfectly revealed in rich and strong soups. Any edible mushrooms are suitable for cooking, for example, boletuses, boletuses or chanterelles, but it is advisable that they still include at least a couple of dried porcini mushrooms. After all, it is the porcini mushroom that is the undisputed leader both in terms of taste and richness of aroma. Adding it even in small quantities gives the soup a special, very thick and viscous mushroom aroma, and if you cook only from white mushrooms, then this is a recognized culinary classic.

Classic mushroom soup made from dried white mushrooms is very easy to prepare. The only thing you definitely need to take care of in advance is to rinse and soak the dried mushrooms in water. Some housewives pour boiling water over them and leave them for only half an hour, waiting for the mushrooms to swell. But if you have time, still soak them in cold water and leave them overnight, making sure to cover the container with the mushrooms with a lid. This way they will reveal their taste and aroma as fully as possible. By the way, never throw away the water in which the porcini mushrooms were soaked! Be sure to use it as a base for broth to make the soup rich.

In the best traditions of Russian cuisine, only onions, carrots and potatoes are added to dried white mushroom soup. These vegetables are more than enough to create a dish with a distinct taste and strong mushroom aroma. Sometimes the base recipe includes some noodles, preferably homemade, to thicken the soup and make it more filling. Of the spices, only pepper and bay leaf are added so as not to interrupt the taste of the mushrooms; if desired, you can add a little fresh or dried dill.

How to make mushroom soup from dried porcini mushrooms

  1. We wash the dried mushrooms under a strong stream of cold water. Be sure to thoroughly wash every item! Regardless of whether the mushrooms are whole or sliced, there should be no sand or other contaminants left on their surface. If you rinse it poorly, the grains of sand will grit unpleasantly on your teeth and you will completely ruin the dish. If you use not only porcini mushrooms, but a mixture of dried mushrooms, their quantity can be doubled.
  2. Pour the washed mushrooms with cold water - 1 glass is enough for the liquid to completely cover them. Let it sit overnight in the refrigerator, covering the container with a lid. After 6-8 hours, the dried mushrooms will swell well and increase in size, and the water with which they were soaked will darken and become very aromatic.

  3. In a saucepan or thick-bottomed saucepan, heat the vegetable oil and sauté the diced onion in it. By the way, you can fry it in butter, the main thing is to make sure it doesn’t burn.

  4. As soon as the onion becomes soft, put the carrots, peeled and chopped on a coarse grater, into the saucepan. Continue frying for another 1-2 minutes until the carrots are golden brown.

  5. Add porcini mushrooms to the saucepan along with the water in which they were soaked. It is advisable to strain the water through cheesecloth or drain it very carefully, as there may be a small sediment at the bottom. If the mushrooms were whole, do not forget to cut them first. Add another 0.5 liters of water, add salt and place the saucepan on low heat, cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes from the moment of boiling.

  6. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, add them to the mushroom soup and cook until fully cooked - 10-15 minutes. You can use the amount of potatoes at your discretion depending on how thick the soup you like.

  7. If you add noodles, now is the time to add them to the pan and cook until done. The basic recipe for mushroom soup does not require any additives, so we will only add spices: bay leaf, a little ground pepper and finely chopped dill (fresh or dried will do).

  8. Boil for literally 1 minute and remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the finished dish sit for 5-10 minutes under the lid.
  9. Pour the mushroom soup into portioned bowls and serve hot.

The dish turns out very aromatic and tasty. Depending on what kind of dried mushrooms were used for preparation, the soup may turn out to be more or less saturated in color. Before serving, you can flavor it with a spoon of sour cream or sprinkle with finely chopped dill.
