Mushroom soup with potatoes is a thick autumn soup made from a grandmother's recipe that takes as much as a kilogram of mushrooms. The mushrooms are first stewed with onions, then potatoes and root vegetables are added and the soup is thickened with a roux containing ground sweet paprika. It is a good way to use freshly picked mushrooms. If you have any left over, freeze them only after briefly blanching them.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Clean the mushrooms and potatoes and cut them into small pieces. Finely chop the onions and sauté them in the oil.

  2. Add the mushrooms to the onions and stew them the way you would for scrambled eggs with mushrooms, adding a little water as needed. Add the potatoes, carrot, parsley root and celeriac, stir, season with salt and add the black pepper. Pour in about 2 l of water and cook.

  3. Meanwhile, make the roux: fry the flour in oil until golden, add the ground paprika while stirring constantly and pour in about 200 ml of cold water. Stir the roux into the hot soup and cook until the potatoes and mushrooms are tender.

  4. Serve the soup with bread or toast. In the center of each bowl you can add a dollop of sour cream sprinkled with parsley.

    Tip: fry any nice pieces of mushroom you have left over in oil, salt them and sprinkle them over the soup.

Tip: Out of season, replace the fresh mushrooms with about 100 g of dried ones: soak them in lukewarm water for half an hour and add them together with the strained soaking water.
