Classic mushroom soup with champignon puree and cream

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook a classic mushroom soup made from champignons with cream? Prepare your food. Buy medium-sized snow-white champignons without spots, damage or rotten smell. They should not feel slippery to the touch. Rinse the mushrooms under running water to remove soil. If there are any, cut out the damaged areas.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the washed mushrooms on a towel to absorb excess moisture. Peel large mushrooms (wash small ones enough). Cut them into small cubes. Cut two mushrooms into thin slices. We will need them for decoration.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onions and chop finely. To prevent onion juice from irritating the mucous membranes of the eyes when slicing, moisten the onion and knife with cold water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Melt the butter in a frying pan (no need to heat it up too much, it may start to burn), add the champignons and onions.

5. STEP 5

   

   Fry everything together with constant stirring over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. Separately, fry the champignon slices with which you will decorate the dish before serving until golden brown.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour filtered water into a saucepan, put on fire and bring to a boil. The indicated amount of water can be increased or decreased as desired. It all depends on whether you want a thicker or thinner soup. Be sure to take high-quality filtered or bottled water, as tap water can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste. Place the pan on the fire.

7. STEP 7

   

   When the water in the pan boils, pour in heavy cream (20%) and soy sauce. You can use cream of any fat content. But remember that the higher the fat content of the product, the higher the calorie content of the dish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Stirring, bring the water and cream to a boil again.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add mushrooms fried with onions. Reduce heat to low and simmer soup for about 10-15 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Take an immersion blender and puree the soup until smooth and smooth.

11. STEP 11

    

    Salt and pepper the dish to taste and stir.

12. STEP 12

    

    Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fried mushrooms and herbs (parsley, dill). Serve to the table. You can also add croutons to the soup. Bon appetit!

I liked the recipe, I have never added soy sauce to a soup like this. I always cooked it with sour cream or cream.

What an interesting soup! I got two servings, for my husband and for me. Our children don’t eat mushrooms) To avoid it being too greasy, I used 10% cream, and when frying the mushrooms, I used a minimum of oil; a non-stick frying pan did a good job with this. I've never made soup like this before. I always cooked from raw vegetables and mushrooms. Fried ones give an interesting taste, and butter and cream give a very pleasant tenderness and creaminess. It was not possible to achieve a homogeneous puree, there were tiny pieces left, but this is even good, mushrooms come across the tooth and the taste becomes richer. And freshly ground pepper added directly to the plate gives even more flavor. Thanks for the recipe.

Taking into account the frying of onions and mushrooms, the amount of soup per serving is less than 230 g. They didn’t even reach the USSR standard. :) In my opinion, the soup turns out to be a bit greasy, even very fatty.
