Cream of mushroom soup is a traditional French dish. Very often it can be found in the menu of cafes and restaurants. But it's not too difficult to make it at home and indulge yourself with this exquisite taste.
It is necessary
-
- champignons - 500 g;
- cream 20% - 250 ml;
- onion - 1 head;
- flour - 2 tablespoons without a slide;
- broth - 850 ml;
- garlic - 1 clove;
- vegetable oil;
- water;
- salt;
- pepper.
Instructions
Step 1
Take fresh mushrooms for a richer soup. When buying, pay attention to their size, the smallest mushrooms are considered elite, and not the large ones - overripe. If you don't find fresh mushrooms in the store, you can easily replace them with frozen ones. This will partly ease your work and shorten the cooking time of the dish: they do not need to be washed and cut. But this may slightly affect the taste. Rinse and chop the mushrooms thoroughly. You can chop the mushrooms either coarsely or finely. This is not important in this case, since later all the ingredients are ground in a blender.
Step 2
Put the mushrooms in a skillet with hot vegetable oil and simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes. You can add a little water to fresh mushrooms so that they do not overcook. Salt a little and stir occasionally.
Step 3
You will need broth to make cream soup. Whether you make the broth yourself or not is up to you. Today, you can buy alternative options in the store - cubes with concentrated broth or ready-made broth in bags. Remember that the healthiest of all is what you have prepared yourself based on natural products.
Step 4
Peel and chop the onion and garlic and fry them in a little vegetable oil. Mix with fried mushrooms and chop in a blender or scroll through a meat grinder, preferably twice.
Step 5
Add flour diluted in warm water to the resulting mass and pour in the hot broth, then salt, stir, put on fire and bring to a boil, then add cream in a thin stream.
Step 6
Ready-made cream soup is served either with white bread croutons or sprinkled with chopped croutons on top. Bon Appetit!
