This post is dedicated to lovers of French soups. It's about how to make cream of mushroom soup from champignons according to a French recipe using chicken broth without a blender and without cream. And let me tell you a secret, unlike the grayish color that is usual for mushroom puree soup, you will get a golden and very attractive soup. And you will definitely learn how to achieve this in this recipe.
To begin, prepare all the ingredients:
Ingredients
(for 2 people):
- 2 tbsp. lie vegetable oil
- 10 g butter
- 250 g champignons
- 1 onion
- 0.5 white leek
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 glass of milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 5 g flour
- 5 g butter
- Salt, ground white pepper
- Parsley and paprika for decoration
Steps
Use raw wheat flour.
Make a sauce with half a tablespoon of melted butter or olive oil with the same amount of flour for each bowl of soup. Pour the soup into the mixture and continue stirring until the soup thickens. This method requires an additional fifteen minutes of time to get rid of the "raw flour" taste. The technique is the same as with roux, only in this case the flour is cooked in the soup, and not fried before preparing the dish.

Try white rice or pasta.

Whisk the yolk and 1 tablespoon of cream for each bowl of soup.
Add some hot soup to the creamed mixture before adding the mixture to the soup pot. This is called "reducing" - it warms the eggs a little before placing them in the hot liquid (to reduce the risk of the egg curdling). Leave the soup to simmer over low heat - it should not boil, otherwise the egg will harden.

Use cornstarch.
This method will thicken the soup without the additional time it takes to add flour. Add about a tablespoon of starch to a container and add enough cold water to form a paste or paste. Whisk the mixture into the soup and bring to a boil. It's important to add water to the starch, not starch to the water (otherwise lumps will form), and to use cold water (adding hot water will cook the starch before you add it to the soup).

Add beans.
Use canned beans with a natural or mild flavor (but not kidney beans, they will overpower the flavor). White beans work best. Dry and drain the beans, then blend them with a cup of soup stock in a blender or processor. Add the puree to the remaining soup, simmering over low heat until thickened.
Cream soup is a type of cream soup, so their recipes have few differences. The main feature of cream soup is that cream or milk is used in its preparation. Otherwise, the principles of preparation remain the same: to prepare cream soup, we boil and chop vegetables or other products, then dilute them with broth, milk or cream.

By supplementing it with almonds or ginger, you can get an incredibly tasty dish. Mushroom cream soup is also popular, for the preparation of which you can use any edible mushrooms, for example, champignons or porcini. Mushroom soup seasoned with cream turns out to be very tasty and satisfying. Another famous cream soup is cheese soup, which is made from aromatic varieties of cheese.

Mushroom soup recipe
Heat both types of oil in a deep frying pan and fry diced celery, carrots and onions in it. As soon as the vegetables acquire a golden hue, remove them from the heat and transfer them to a plate.
Now it’s the turn of the mushrooms; they need to be cut into large slices and simmered on the fire for about 5-6 minutes. Now we transfer the mushrooms, along with the released liquid, as well as the vegetables, into the pan. Fill the contents of the pan with water, add herbs and spices and bring the liquid to a boil.
