Cheese soup with champignons

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook cheese soup with champignons? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the champignon cheese soup. I advise you to rinse the peels of potatoes and carrots with a brush under running cold water before peeling them. This way you will certainly avoid any remaining soil and sand getting into the soup.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the potatoes, carrots and onions. Wash the peeled vegetables, champignons and greens thoroughly (greens and champignons can first be washed in a large bowl of water, rinsing and changing the water several times to remove soil particles, and then rinsed under running water).

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour the rice (you can use any type of rice you like) into a small container, such as a glass or cup. Rinse it several times, constantly changing the water, until the water becomes clear. You can replace rice as you wish, for example, with oatmeal or any other cereal, as well as noodles, but in this case, consider the time and method of preparing them. The taste of the dish will also change.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the potatoes into equal small cubes or cubes, as you prefer. Place the potatoes and clean rice into the pan. Fill everything with water, put it on high heat and wait until it boils, add salt to taste. If foam has formed, remove it with a slotted spoon. Reduce heat to medium and leave the pan on the stove with the lid closed until the potatoes are done. This will take approximately 15 - 20 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   While the potatoes and rice are cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Grate the carrots on a medium grater, or chop them to your liking, most importantly finely. Chop the onion into small pieces too. This is necessary so that the vegetables are fried quickly and at the same time. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry carrots and onions in it. What oil is best for frying? It is better to choose oil with the highest smoke point (i.e. it heats up and does not burn for a long time)

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the champignons (in the recipe I used brown ones, but you can use white ones) into 3-4 mm slices.

7. STEP 7

   

   When the potatoes are ready (you can check for doneness by piercing a piece with a knife; the potatoes should be absolutely soft), turn the heat to maximum. Immediately add the champignons to the pan.

8. STEP 8

   

   After boiling, add the fried onions and carrots to the soup. You can also add bay leaf if desired. Cook everything for about one to two minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add melted cheese, mix everything well.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add finely chopped greens to the soup. Green onions and dill work very well. But you can use any other greens you like. After boiling again, turn off the stove, cover the soup with a lid and let it brew for at least 10-15 minutes.

To make the soup more filling, you can add chicken.

Thanks for the recipe. It turned out very tasty. However, instead of rice, I added millet and cooked it in chicken broth.

Mushroom soup usually turns out gray and unappetizing. But this recipe turned out to be a very beautiful, bright soup! I think this beauty is achieved due to processed cheese, as well as frying carrots in oil, because... During this process, the carrots release carotene, which gives it a pleasant yellowish tint) I really liked the soup, its taste is creamy and soft. The rice gave it a nice soft texture. I didn’t fry the onion, I boiled the whole onion, and then removed it from the broth. I used mushroom processed cheese, which also gave it a rich mushroom taste. In general, I really liked everything, I recommend this wonderful soup!

For lunch today I served cheese soup with champignons. It is very simple and quick to prepare, and it turns out delicious even without broth. I prepared it according to the recipe, the only deviation was that I fried the mushrooms a little in a frying pan before adding them to the soup. My husband really liked the soup and the children ate it with pleasure. Great recipe, I will make it again!

Thank you for the recipe! The soup turned out very tasty the first time. I realized that this soup has a good property: the longer it sits in the refrigerator and infuses, the tastier it is (here I mean reasonable storage according to the shelf life of the prepared product). I’m already preparing it for the second time)))
