Mushroom Velvet Soup is rich in flavor and easy to make, an autumn soup that will warm up the first cold days of the season. The mushroom cream is enriched with crispy bacon, making it even more flavorful and tasty. I recommend serving it with croutons or slices of toasted bread. To prepare the porcini mushroom velvet soup, I used fresh porcini mushrooms. Alternatively, you can also use frozen porcini mushrooms, a good alternative when fresh porcini mushrooms are not in season. I recommend also checking out these recipes for DELICIOUS VELVET SOUPS.

How to Prepare Mushroom Velvet Soup
Let’s start preparing the Mushroom Velvet Soup, clean the mushrooms, remove the bottom part of the stem, scrape it to remove the dirt, and cut them into pieces.
Then pour the mushrooms into a pot, add the clove of garlic, some chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, and put it on the stove, cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Prepare the vegetable broth, when the mushrooms are ready, remove the garlic, adjust the salt, and set aside 1/3 of the mushrooms on a plate, you will add them to the cream later to also have mushroom pieces. Cut the bacon into julienne or cubes, heat a pan, and when it is very hot, add the bacon and fry it well to make it crispy.
Pour the cornstarch and some vegetable broth into a glass, stir to dissolve the cornstarch, then pour it into the pot with the mushrooms and also add the remaining broth. Blend with an immersion blender to obtain a cream and then add the porcini mushroom pieces set aside earlier.
Pour the hot mushroom velvet soup into the plates, add the previously cooked bacon, and also add slices of toasted bread or croutons.
