Ingredients

• 1 lb Mixed mushrooms
• 1 oz Dried porcini
• 2 Potatoes
• 1 Onion
• 1 Carrots
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1/2 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Dill

Steps

1. Soak the porcini in hot water 20 minutes; strain and save every drop of the dark, fragrant liquid.
2. Sear the fresh mushrooms in butter until deeply browned; add onion and carrot and soften 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the porcini liquid plus 6 cups of water and the chopped porcini; simmer 15 minutes.
4. Add cubed potatoes and cook 12 minutes until tender; the starch lightly thickens the broth.
5. Season with salt and black pepper; the soup should taste intensely of forest floor, in the best way.
6. Serve with a swirl of sour cream and dill; a slice of dark bread is mandatory.
