Steps
The potato and mushroom soup is very simple and quick to prepare, first place the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and parsley sprig in a pot and sauté for a few seconds.
Add the cleaned and sliced champignon mushrooms, season them with salt, and let them cook for 3/4 minutes, then set them aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped celery, carrots, and onion, and let them flavor for a minute. Add the peeled and diced potatoes, sauté them for a couple of minutes, then pour in the water, adjust the salt, and let it cook, covered, for about 15 minutes.
At this point, add the mushrooms and continue cooking, still covered, for another 10 minutes.
Once cooked, season the potato and mushroom soup with a bit of pepper, adjust the salt if necessary, and blend everything directly in the pot.
Plate the potato and mushroom soup, serving it hot.
Tips:
The potato and mushroom soup keeps in the fridge for 2/3 days. Instead of water, you can also use vegetable or meat broth, but be careful with the salt, dose it well. If the cream turns out not creamy enough, add a few drops of water/broth.
