Ingredients:
- 400 g of sliced fresh Porcini mushrooms - or Chanterelle mushrooms
- 1 medium onion - diced
- 4 garlic cloves - sliced
- 2 medium carrots - diced small
- ½ celery stick - diced small
- 8 cm piece of leek - diced small
- 1 large potato - diced small
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp butter
- 1.5 L vegetable stock
- 150 g uncooked penne pasta
- 100 ml double cream
- 1 bay leaf
- Black pepper - to taste
- Parsley - for garnish
- 1 tsp of yoghurt per plate - optional, mix in before serving
Instructions:
- In a frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sliced garlic, cooking on medium heat for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms with 1 tsp of butter, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook for another 5 minutes. Once the mushrooms are ready, remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a large pot, add the vegetable stock, diced carrots, celery, leek, potato, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the uncooked penne pasta and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Stir in the fried mushrooms, onions, and garlic, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
- By now, the pasta should be cooked through, and the mushrooms should still hold their shape. If the soup is too thick, add a little water.
- Remove one ladle of soup liquid (without solids) and mix it with the double cream. Pour the mixture back into the pot to prevent the cream from splitting.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve, garnished with freshly cracked black pepper and chopped parsley. Optionally, stir in 1 tsp of yoghurt per plate for added sourness.
