Mantar Corbasi~Mushroom Soup!
Oh how I love Mushrooms. This rich creamy soup gives you such a cozy feeling. When I was a young girl, I remember looking for mushrooms with my family. We would go to the forest along side the river banks and swamps. They were almost impossible to spot. The best time to go was after the spring showers, because most of the forest was sprouting new growth. Just when you though you found one you realized it was just another tree sprout. If you found one normally you would find many. I often wonder how many I walked by or even walked on. We mostly looked for Morel and Beef Steak. They smelled so wonderful like clean fresh soil.
Recipe:
1 lbs fresh Button mushrooms (approx. 10-12 Medium)
1 small onion (grated finely)
1 tsp sweet red pepper
2 tsp butter
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
6 C water
3 tbs four
2 cups milk
Salt and Pepper to taste
What to do:
First start out by adding your olive oil and butter to pan. Grate your onion very fine. Add to pan with your red pepper and let gently cook 3-5 minutes. Now add 5 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cut your mushrooms in to long slices and add to water. Add remaining spices. Let rapidly boil for about 10 minutes. Take your remaining 1 cup water and your 2 cups milk and add in a bowl. Slowly whisk in your flour, making sure there are no lumps. (hint:use immersion blender) Slowly stir into your soup. Turn heat on low. Simmer and stir occasionally for 10 minutes. Afiyet Olsun!
