Mushroom soup

Ingredients: (for 3-4 persons)

• 400g mushrooms (I used fresh, you can also use frozen)
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 large carrots
• 2 celery sticks
• 4-6 medium potatoes (dice 4 potatoes and slice 2 thinly)
• 2 bay leaves
• vegetable oil, salt, pepper, dill, cayenne pepper, a pinch of smoked paprika
• a handful of parsley

Method:

1. Cut and slice all the vegetables and prepare all the ingredients.
2. Saute chopped onions in vegetable oil (you can use olive oil) and add chopped garlic cloves (make sure you don’t burn the garlic because it will give a bitter taste…)
3. Add thinly sliced mushrooms and mix.
4. Add carrots and potatoes in small pieces and put them in the stockpot over the onions, garlic and mushrooms..
5. Add 1,5l of water and 2 bay leaves and let it boil.
6. Add spices to your taste (we like it spicy so I use cayenne pepper) and simmer for 20-30 minutes on medium heat.
7. If you like your soup thicker just use hand mixer and pulse a few times. (IF YOU DO THAT DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE BAY LEAVES OUT OF THE POT FIRST! :))
