Mushroom soup can be safely classified as gourmet cuisine, since a rare dish can surpass it in terms of aroma and special flavors.
For this reason, mushroom soups are often served in restaurants.
But you can also prepare a spectacular dish at home that even a professional chef will be proud of.
What tricks might be useful?
The advantage of dried mushrooms
Some people like to make soup using fresh mushrooms, but it will be “poorer” in terms of richness when compared to the dried product.
The mushrooms should be placed in a container with milk for literally an hour before preparing the soup.
If you don't have dried mushrooms on hand
In this case, you will first need to properly process fresh mushrooms. First, they are cleaned and chopped in a convenient way. After that, the product needs to be sent to the frying pan.
Once the mushrooms are golden, they can be added to the pot. Fried mushrooms will add flavor and richness to the soup.
Flour
Sometimes mushroom soups turn out a bit "empty", so it is worth knowing about one trick. It is necessary to fry flour in a dry frying pan until a pleasant shade, dilute it in a small amount of water and carefully add it to the mushroom soup.
This trick is also used for making creamy soups that require a creamy texture.
Semolina
If you don't like the taste of flour, you can replace it with a couple of spoons of semolina. This will give the mushroom soup an appetizing, dense texture.
Butter
Sometimes mushroom soups cannot boast of a rich broth. In this case, butter will come to the rescue. It is usually added at the very end of cooking the soup.
This also helps to significantly improve the taste of the dish.
Green
It is difficult to imagine mushroom soup without using greens. If you have prepared a light dish without using cream and cheese, you can improve its flavor with parsley.
A universal option is dill. If you want to impress your family with an exquisite mushroom soup, don't forget about basil.
