Zupa Gzybowa - Polish Mushroom Soup image

My dad is a mushroom nut. He LOVES his mushrooms. Where he and my mom are from in Poland, there are lots of forests where mushrooms grow wild, and they are a staple of cooking in the region. My dad uses them fresh, dried, dehydrated, whatever. Mushroom soup (Zupa Grzybowa) was on our table a lot. This is simple to make and...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 c dried mushrooms (your choice)
1 c fresh mushrooms (your choice)
8-9 c vegetable stock
1 stick unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, finely diced
2 Tbsp flour or cornstarch
4 oz sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
vegeta to taste (optional)
chopped dill or parsley, and dash of pepper, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Put dried mushrooms in a pot and cover them with boiling water. Cover pot and let stand to soak until they are soft. This depends on the mushroom you use. This may take a few minutes, or maybe sometimes an hour.
  • 2. After they are softened, rinse them and chop them up into diced bits, or into strips.
  • 3. In your soup pot, add all mushtooms and the broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer.
  • 4. In a saucepan, sautee onions in all the butter until brown and tender. Add onions and butter to the pot.
  • 5. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch/flour with a ladle or two of the hot soup. Whisk until all lumps are gone. Add it all back to the soup, or strain through small strainer if you still think you have lumps left.
  • 6. Stir in the sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Also add vegeta if you have it / if you want to. At this point, you may want more sour cream so add 8 oz instead of 4. I don't like lots of sour cream so I just do 4.
  • 7. Garnish with chopped dill / parsley / pepper when serving.
