Mushroom Soup Mushroom Soup
I am a huge fan of mushroom soup. As much as I remember, I used to survive on Campbell's mushroom soup during my military years. That and some instant ramen. I had experimented, researched and tasted my fair share of mushroom soups. Eventually, I had settled for Heston Blumenthal's version. I love how he adds potatoes to enhance the creaminess of the soup and also the stacking aroma from the addition of leeks.I used a varieties of mushrooms instead of just one. There are so many to choose from, the wild expensive to the underrated cheaper ones. In the end, I settled for my 2 favorite; shiitake and Swiss brown button mushrooms. What really stands out here is Heston blitz some dried mushrooms into powder and act as a garnish. It really kicks this soup up a notch. Before drooling over that, let's get started with the recipe.

My sister lives near the coast in Germany, she kindly gave me this recipe, well known to the locals in that region and often eaten on stormy days. Today is a wet and windy day with rain coming in from the coast here in Somerset in England, so it felt good to make it. It is wonderful at anytime though ☺

Mushroom with Wild Rice Soup Mushroom with Wild Rice Soup
This mushroom soup is rich and filling. Earthy wild rice compliments the deep mushroom flavor that's from the combination of seared mushrooms and mushroom powder. Use full wild rice instead of "wild rice blends." I've used a pressure cooker to speed up the rice step, but you could simmer the rice covered for one hour instead. If you buy dried mushrooms, you'll need a spice/coffee grinder. Otherwise, you can buy pre-powdered mushrooms.
