Title: Dried Mushroom Soup
Categories: Soups, Ukrainian
Yield: 1 Batch

2/3 c Dried mushrooms
1 sm Onion; chopped
1 tb Butter
1/2 c Mixed carrots & celery;
- diced
1 tb Pearl barley
4 c Soup stock
1/2 c Cooked white beans
1 1/2 tb Flour
1 tb Butter
2 tb Sour cream
Salt & pepper

Dried mushrooms, especially the boletus (white hryby), make a rich and
flavorsome soup.

Pour hot water over the mushrooms, drain, and wash. Cover with
lukewarm water, and soak for 30 minutes or longer. The period of
soaking will depend on the variety of mushrooms used. Cook the
mushrooms until tender, using the same water in which they were
soaked. Strain, chop the mushrooms and return to the mushroom stock.
Cook the onion in the butter until slightly wilted. Add it along with
the vegetables, pearl barley, and soup stock to the mushrooms. Cover
and cook until the pearl barley and vegetables are tender. Add the
cooked beans and continue simmering a while longer. Brown the flour
lightly in the butter. Pour in some of the soup liquid, stir until
smooth, and add to the soup. Mix in the sour cream and bring to a
boil. Season to taste with salt & pepper. For a richer flavor, a few
drops of garlic juice may be added, if desired. Serve the soup with
either rye bread or pyrizhky.
