Soups are a very important dish for the body. A daily intake of liquid hot food is good for the gastrointestinal tract and is easily absorbed by the digestive system.
Soups are different: meat, vegetable, mushroom, fish and so on. In this article, we will consider how to prepare mushroom soup from frozen mushrooms.
Preparation for the process
Any cooking needs to be thoroughly prepared. All ingredients must be of good quality, well washed, beautifully chopped. Cooking soup is only half the battle. You need to be able to properly and beautifully present the finished dish. The ingredients must be combined with each other.
In order to prepare mushroom soup from frozen mushrooms, you will need: freshly frozen mushrooms themselves, potatoes, carrots and so on. You can use any kind of mushroom: ceps, boletus, mushrooms, champignons, chanterelles, butter and others.
Mushroom soup made from fresh, freshly picked mushrooms is richer and tastier. But from frozen ones you can also cook an excellent dish. Mushrooms tolerate freezing well and retain their palatability.
The good news is that mushroom soup from frozen mushrooms can be cooked year-round. Fortunately, finding them in various retail chains is not a problem. And if they are assembled with your own hands, then this is ideal.
Classic soup recipe
To prepare a delicious mushroom soup with frozen mushrooms according to the recipe, you will need mushrooms (preferably champignons), about 350 grams, 8 potatoes, 1 large carrot, onion, bell pepper (two pieces), and sunflower oil. Peppers, salt and seasonings are added to taste.
The potato is peeled and cut into strips. Water is poured into the pan, about 2 liters, potatoes are put there and cooked over low heat.
Next, the onion is thoroughly washed, peeled and cut into cubes. Before washing the onion, it must be cut into two halves, then it will not cause tears.
Carrots are also peeled and cut into thin strips. You can use a grater and grate it.
The next step is to fry the prepared onions and carrots in sunflower oil. And first, the onion is fried until golden brown, then carrot is added. Stewed together for about five minutes. Bulgarian pepper is added to the roast (preferably fresh, but frozen also will do). The only condition for this classic recipe is that if the mushrooms are fresh, then you do not need to add pepper. Otherwise, it will interrupt the taste of mushrooms with its aroma. If mushroom soup is prepared from frozen mushrooms, then pepper, on the contrary, will enhance their taste and aroma.
Next up are mushrooms. Ideally, if they were diced before freezing. But if this is not so, then you will have to suffer a little. Frozen mushrooms are sent to a pot of potatoes (without defrosting). Thawing them is not recommended. Otherwise, they will lose their taste and form. And if you put them in frozen form, then the whole taste will come out in a future soup. As soon as the water boils, it is imperative to remove the resulting foam. Cooking time approximately 20 minutes.
5 tablespoons of mushroom broth is added to the frying and stewed for 10 minutes. Then everything is put into the pan, salted and peppered to taste. If necessary, you can add your favorite seasonings. Ready soup is cooked for another five minutes.
A tasty and simple dish is ready. When serving, you can decorate it with greens (a leaf of parsley or dill).
