Porcini Mushroom Soup

Experience the deep, earthy flavours of our Porcini Mushroom Soup, a luxurious dish that brings the forest to your table.

Instructions

01
Soak the porcini mushrooms in 2 cups of hot water for about 15 minutes, or until they are soft. Set aside.
02
Heat a splash of the olive oil in a large thick-bottomed pot, saute the shallots for a couple of minutes, then stir in the rosemary and potatoes. Add the remaining olive oil and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, the porcini along with the soaking liquid, the 4 cups of water, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for ten minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Taste. If the broth is too intense, you may want to add more water a bit at a time. And take care to get the salt right as well, it's important in a simple soup like this.
03
Serve as is or topped with any number of the ingredients I listed up above.
