How to properly cook soup with dried mushrooms. Treatment with dried porcini mushrooms and fresh mushrooms

This recipe for soup with dried porcini mushrooms was sent to me by Matsulevich Valentina Vasilievna, from Vitebsk, Belarus.

“In our family, all its members love to collect. We usually go on a quiet hunt in late August - early September. We have one very mushroom place. Local residents say that in this place, even in the driest year, the forest is never empty. you will leave without a basket of mushrooms.

This forest, by our Vitebsk standards, is located quite far away - about 75-80 kilometers from the city. Of course, quite a lot of money is spent on gasoline, but, as they say, the game is worth the candle. Sometimes a family of 3-4 people can easily collect 5-6 buckets in a few hours noble mushrooms– boletus, boletus, boletus. And our favorite place is also convenient because we can freely go far from the car in different directions, without fear of getting lost, because we’ve been picking mushrooms there for about 20 years now.

And now the mushroom harvest has been harvested, we have arrived in the city, and the most difficult part begins - sorting and cleaning the mushrooms. The young people urgently have some business to attend to, my husband needs to put the car in the garage, and I desperately sit down at the kitchen table and start working. This process usually lasts until 12 at night.

The best specimens are used according to a recipe that has been proven over the years, boletus mushrooms, touched by a worm, are sent on a wire rack to the oven to dry, if there are milk mushrooms, saffron milk caps and red mushrooms, then they are salted, and everything else is boiled and frozen in the freezer. And, of course, the next day, real mushroom soup is cooked from porcini mushrooms or boletus mushrooms.

And about five years ago, my daughter met a young man in early December. Everyone in our family is Catholic, only I am Orthodox. Catholic Christmas was approaching, my mother-in-law came to visit from western Belarus, and unexpectedly my daughter’s boyfriend asked to visit us for this holiday. I was very surprised, because they had just met, but I was happy about the guest.

Catholics have this custom - mushroom soup made from dried porcini mushrooms or boletus mushrooms is always served on the table at Christmas. I took a new box of dried mushrooms from the mezzanine and cooked it amazingly tasty soup. Everyone at the table was languishing in anticipation. tasty food. Moreover, my daughter praised my exclusive guy. And a wonderful smell came from the kitchen.

I served the first steaming plate to my future son-in-law. He was about to put a spoonful of sour cream in it, when suddenly I saw something incomprehensible in the second plate. There was something white floating in the soup. I put on my glasses, took a closer look and gasped - the entire surface of the soup was filled with white worms

What an embarrassment! A new person came to the house for the first time, who a year later became my son-in-law, and my mother-in-law served soup with worms. I tried to quietly take the plate from the guy, but he didn’t want to give it back, because the soup had a charming aroma! I was terribly ashamed, but I had to tell everyone what an opportunity it was. By the way, all the other mushrooms that I store in cake boxes turned out to be completely clean. And then I had to throw them away."

Every family has its own recipe mushroom soup. Some people like creamy mushroom soup, others prepare creamy mushroom soup with melted cheese. But, you see, the most delicious and aromatic mushroom soup is soup made from dried forest mushrooms. It is so tasty that you don’t need to come up with clever culinary techniques to make the soup more interesting - nature did everything for us.

The fungal disease was inherited from me. My mother was an avid mycelium picker, I would say manic. She not only loved picking mushrooms, but also knew a lot about processing them. Each mushroom had its own purpose. Baby porcini mushrooms and russula capsules were marinated separately for special occasions, green mushrooms were sent for pickling. And a lot was prepared dried mushrooms– separately on mushroom caviar, separately for soups and pies. Only now I understand what hellish work it took to prepare all these delicacies.

I also like to go mushroom picking. My preparations are limited to drying and freezing mushrooms, and even a little canning in jars. I have enough mushrooms to make soup from dry mushrooms on a frosty day.
I prepare dried mushroom soup as my mother taught me.
Nothing but potatoes, onions, carrots and cereals. Spices include black peppercorns and dill seeds. Forest mushrooms They have their own unique taste and there is no need to spoil it with unnecessary seasonings and additives.
Lots of ghee. Butter not only gives the mushroom soup a soft, creamy taste, but also replenishes it with missing fats.
The cereal is cooked together with mushrooms. This way the cereal will give the broth viscosity and satiety.
I like to add wheat cereal, but children like pearl barley and rice. Any of them is suitable.
In other dry mushroom dishes I use different spices and seasonings, but in dry mushroom soup I love the pure mushroom flavor.
Like this from dry mushrooms and simple products you can prepare a truly magical mushroom soup, the smell of which cannot be confused with anything else.
