administratorWe Poles love our soups! Soon the colder days will arrive, perfect for warming up with a hot, delicious bowl. Today I have a simple recipe for a mushroom and bacon soup. This isn’t a cream soup—it’s a light soup with pieces of mushrooms, ideal as a first course. The portions below serve 3–4 people with a modest appetite, or 2 people who want to eat heartily.
Ingredients:
- 400 g (about 14 oz) mushrooms
- 2 onions
- 50 g (about 2 oz) smoked bacon
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 200 ml (Âľ cup) heavy cream
- 600 ml (2½ cups) vegetable broth
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the ingredients: Wash the mushrooms and slice them. Peel and dice the onions. Cut the bacon into small cubes.
Cook the bacon and vegetables: In a medium pot, fry the bacon until lightly browned. Add the mushrooms and onions, and sauté for a few minutes until the onions are soft.
Add the flour: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir-fry for about 30 seconds.
Add liquids: Pour in the vegetable broth and cream. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
