PORCINI MUSHROOM SOUP
This is an easy and delicious soup. The porcini mushrooms add richness and depth of flavour not often found in vegetarian soups. For a lighter broth, skip the purreeing step. The soup is based on a recipe from "Gourmet Magazine" (Dec. 2008). Soup, without dill and parsley, can be made 3 days ahead and chilled. Add herbs after reheating.
