So that the use of this dish in food does not threaten trouble, you need to know some rules.
Frozen mushrooms can be purchased at the store or prepared for the winter with your own hands. Knowing a few points will make the soup of them tasty and healthy.
Mushroom soup can be cooked using various technologies. In some cases, the broth is boiled separately, after adding the ingredients to it. Mushroom broth, water, as well as vegetable, meat, chicken broths can be taken as a basis. There are recipes that use milk as a liquid base. Delicious from mushrooms, soups of a creamy consistency are obtained, thickened with flour, melted cheese or other products. The technology for making frozen mushroom soup will depend on the specific recipe.
Cooking method:
When serving, season the soup with sour cream, sprinkle with herbs. If you do not eat animal products, instead of butter you can use vegetable, replace sour cream with a thin slice of lemon, a small spoonful of tomato puree.
Cooking method:
Soup according to this recipe can be prepared not only from mushrooms, but also from champignons. The aroma and taste will then be less expressive, but pleasant.

Mushroom soup from frozen mushrooms can be prepared according to various recipes. All variants of the first course will have a unique taste, which depends not only on the recipe, but also on the technology.
Mushrooms are a versatile culinary product. They are harmoniously combined with a variety of ingredients, with all types of meat, vegetables and any kind of pasta. They can be consumed fresh, pickled, fried, frozen and dried. Even equally, these gifts of the forest are suitable for second and first courses.
The beneficial properties of mushrooms include a high content of protein and vitamin E. This makes them satisfying, and the use of this product helps to strengthen and grow nails and hair, increases skin elasticity, returning it to its tone, and normalizes the thyroid gland.
You can not store fresh mushrooms for a long time in the refrigerator, their use after that can cause eating disorders. Drying will keep them for a long time, but they lose a lot of useful qualities. To save them, it is better to freeze the mushrooms. They can stay in the freezer for a long time without losing their usefulness.
There are many recipes for mushroom soups, and a large part of them are designed to cook a dish using frozen mushrooms. Professional chefs say that it is best to use forest mushrooms. They have the most rich taste and aroma.
To prepare mushroom soup from frozen mushrooms, we need:
Cooking method
It can be served without additives. But it goes well with sour cream and also with fresh herbs, which should be added to the plates before serving.
You can also use beans in this recipe. To do this, 100-150 grams of the product should be left to soak in water overnight. It is put into the pan first, about half an hour before adding mushrooms to the broth.
If noodles are used instead of pasta, they are put into the pot last, three minutes before the soup is turned off. This is enough time for her to prepare. If put earlier, it will boil.
Chicken goes well with mushrooms. Soup cooked in chicken broth is rich and tasty. It is suitable for those who are on a diet, but do not want to give up eating meat dishes.
Ingredients:
We will not have time to look back, as soon as the summer mushroom time comes. How we look forward to this time! After all, there will be an opportunity not only to walk in the forest, breathe fresh air, listen to birdsong, but also “hunt”. Probably, everyone who loves this activity is familiar with the feeling of excitement and pleasure when you find a white, or red-headed, or beautiful boletus.
Having collected full baskets, we usually return home, and first of all we cook the mushroom picker and cook the roast. And what a smell is spreading through the kitchen at that moment! Oh, I just dreamed and almost presented everything live.
But it will not be earlier than in a month. But what can you do to avoid waiting so long? That's right, cook frozen mushroom soup for now.
After all, those who collected them last summer probably froze them in reserve. And if the stocks have already run out, then it doesn’t matter, now you can buy frozen champignons in the store all year round, however, as well as fresh ones. And not only champignons, there are also chanterelles and boletus.
And I must say that soup from frozen mushrooms is no worse than from fresh ones. And from them you can cook a lot of delicious dishes according to simple and tasty recipes. I propose today to consider their various options.
According to this recipe, of course, you can cook soup using both fresh and frozen mushrooms. Any that are. Especially delicious will be a soup of white, boletus and oil. At least from one of the same species, at least by mixing them in any proportions.
If you cook from aspen mushrooms (redheads), then the dish will also turn out to be delicious, but the broth will be somewhat darkish. Therefore, I cook more from boletus, use them, or cook.
And of course, don't forget the mushrooms. Everything will turn out from them at the highest level. And today one of them will be a delicious recipe.
We will need:
Cooking:
1. Peel potatoes and cut into long strips of medium size. Fill it with water and put on fire. It will be enough to pour 1.5 liters of water.
2. Peel and dice the onion.
Peel and cut the carrots into strips, or even better, grate them for Korean carrots. So it will turn out thin and will not need to be kept on fire for a long time. And that means more vitamins will be preserved.
You can also grate carrots on a regular grater, but in my opinion, if you cut into strips, or use a grater for Korean carrots, then the overall appearance of the soup will be more beautiful. In addition, all other components will be cut with us in the same way.
3. Pour oil into a small frying pan. Why small? Because the small one is more compact and oil will not spread over it, and all components will also not be scattered throughout the pan.
Put the onion on it and fry until golden brown.
4. Then add carrots to it and fry everything together for 2 - 3 minutes over low heat so that the vegetables are more stewed than fried.
5. In the meantime, the potatoes have boiled and you can add mushrooms to it. I already had them cut into pieces when preparing them, and therefore I take them out of the freezer and immediately, without defrosting, add them to the potatoes.
If they are thawed, they will soften, lose their structure. In addition, they will have a double load, first defrost, then cook. And when you put them right in the frozen state, they retain their appearance better and turn out to be tastier.
I have already cleaned and processed them, so I don’t need to wash or clean them anymore.
6. Let the water boil again and remove the foam formed from the mushrooms. Reduce heat, add salt to taste and simmer for 15 minutes.
7. In parallel, do not forget to follow the vegetables. We need to add bell pepper to them. I also have it frozen, and I also add it to the pan without defrosting.
If I used fresh mushrooms, then I would not add pepper, so as not to interrupt the fresh forest aroma. But in a frozen state, although they smell delicious, but to enhance the taste and smell, I add pepper. In my opinion, it does not interfere, but rather emphasizes the taste of all ingredients.
In addition, he, along with carrots, will give a beautiful color to the broth. After all, as you know, mushroom soups are not very bright and beautiful. It is only from white and chanterelles that a light transparent broth is obtained, and from all the rest - not very much!
But if you think that pepper is superfluous here, then you can exclude it.
8. When the vegetables are lightly fried, you can add a little broth from the soup to them, reduce the heat to a minimum and simmer until tender, that is, until the vegetables become soft.
And to make them more tasty, they also need to be salted.
9. 15 minutes have passed and the potatoes with mushrooms are ready. Now you can add the stewed vegetables to the pan. Mix and let boil. Taste the broth, is there enough salt, if not, add salt to taste.
10. Let it boil for 5 minutes. Then turn off, close the lid and let it brew for 10 minutes. During this time, the vegetables will exchange their juices and flavors.
11. Pour soup into bowls. Serve with sour cream or mayonnaise. Or just eat.
For this dish, you do not need to add any spices, bay leaf and pepper, so as not to interrupt the taste and smell. Especially if you cook such a soup from fresh mushrooms.
I have another similar option in one of my articles. There you can read. And of course, not only to read, but also to cook. Moreover, it is good enough for everyday lunch.
A similar soup can be prepared with vermicelli. Its difference from the first option is that we will not do any roasting beforehand.
This soup is best cooked in one go. If you want to cook it for two days, then in this case, roast the vegetables. In this case, the dish will retain its taste.
And I will cook it with frozen porcini mushrooms. Although, of course, like all other options, it can be cooked from any mushrooms. Not excluding both fresh and salty.
We will need (for 4-5 servings):
Cooking:
1. Cook chicken broth. You can use any parts. I took 4 wings. They are quite fatty, and besides, on the bone. Therefore, the broth will be delicious. And since the broth will be delicious, then the mushroom picker itself will turn out no worse.
You can learn from a special article written just on this topic.
I poured enough water into the pan so that, together with the chicken, the volume was two liters.
2. Cook the broth over low heat, periodically removing the foam, for about 20 minutes.
3. In the meantime, cut the potatoes into cubes. Peel the onion, but don't cut it. You can immediately send it to the pan to the whole chicken. Let it boil, and give its juice to the broth.
4. Cut carrots into smaller pieces. You can also grate it, but it’s better to cut it all the same, or use a grater for Korean carrots to make the soup look prettier.
5. When the chicken is cooked for the right time, add potatoes to the pan and salt. Let it boil.
6. Then add frozen mushrooms.
It is not necessary to defrost them, especially if you yourself have frozen them, and they are already cut into pieces. Usually, before freezing, they are thoroughly cleaned and put in the freezer already ready for cooking.
7. As soon as they begin to boil, foam will appear, it must be removed. In this case, the fire should be medium, and the contents should not boil too much.
Otherwise, the broth will turn cloudy.
8. The foam was removed, you can immediately put the chopped carrots into the pan. Boil everything together for 15 minutes.
9. Prepare vermicelli, it is better if it is small. Our soup is already quite thick, so we will not thicken it even more. For the same reason, vermicelli is added quite a bit.
I didn’t have small vermicelli, something I didn’t keep track of, so I took spaghetti. Before putting it in the soup, I broke the long pasta into 4 pieces.
10. Cook vermicelli until tender. I won't give the time because I don't know which variety you will use. I cooked 6-7 minutes.
11. Taste the broth, if salt is not enough, then it can be added.
We do not add spices, pepper and bay leaf, so as not to interrupt the mushroom smell.
12. Turn off the soup, remove the onion and discard, and let stand with the lid closed for 5-10 minutes.
13. In the meantime, set the table. Put sour cream and cook greens.
Since mushroom soups turn out a little dark, especially from frozen mushrooms, I add a little greenery when serving to make the dish look beautiful. At the same time, it does not interrupt either the smell or the taste.
14. Pour the soup into bowls, season with fresh herbs and fresh sour cream.
The soup turned out very fragrant, appetizing and tasty.
And according to the following recipe, this first dish can be prepared from frozen champignons.
Mushrooms are of course good, fragrant and tasty on their own. But in combination with cheese, especially with melted cheese, it just turns out to be an “explosion of taste”.

Creamy taste combined with the most delicate champignons makes this soup simply unforgettable in taste.

It will also come in handy for picnics in nature. And in the heat, it’s important to use kvass, kefir, mineral water, whey, yogurt, ayran, lemon juice and water. Cook with pleasure! See you again on my blog.
As for Russian cuisine, any soups in it, without exception, are first courses in every sense of the word. And the vast forest expanses of Russia are the richest source of "forest bread", as mushrooms are often called.
From the first warm spring thunderstorms to the very frosts, mushroom pickers walk along the forest paths in search of their collecting happiness - a craft known to mankind since ancient times. And the forest does not skimp, making it possible to stock up for future use with mushrooms and saffron mushrooms, butterflies and mushrooms, milk mushrooms and chanterelles, aspen mushrooms, volnushki, champignons.
Mushrooms are salted and pickled, dried and fried, stewed and boiled. Modern capabilities allow you to make blanks by freezing. Mushrooms can be frozen boiled, raw or fried. Mushroom soup from semi-finished products is cooked much faster.
Speaking about the technology of mushroom soup from frozen mushrooms, first of all, let's pay attention to the main component - mushrooms, and only then we will talk about soup.
Mushrooms are not plant or animal food. In food, as in nature, they occupy a special niche. And not only because of the precautions in their use, which, perhaps, have already been said many times and enough.
Mushroom dishes in Orthodox Lent replace meat products. For example, minced mushrooms with the addition of garlic and some spices taste little different from minced meat made from meat. Mushrooms quickly saturate the body without creating problems to combat excess calories. But, at the same time, mushroom soup can be a high-calorie dish, depending on the method of its preparation. And this - main secret of the product.
It is worth noting that mushrooms contain proteins and carbohydrates. They also contain sugar, fats, amino acids. Mushrooms are a source of vitamins, calcium, potassium and iron. Good news: in the chemical composition of mushrooms there is no cholesterol, which the human body produces in abundance without additional stimulation. It is surprising that vitamins, proteins and other elements are contained in absolutely the same amount in a large and small mushroom, and the difference in size lies in the volume of water contained in them. So it does not make sense to wander through the forest in search of a large mushroom. In addition, the largest specimens have a looser structure, which can affect the quality of their culinary processing, and worm mushrooms are more common among them.
Now about the main secret of mushrooms: To do this, let's go a little deeper into the question of the structure of the molecules of the fungus.
Depending on the method of mechanical cooking, all this rich chemical composition can either be completely absorbed by the body, or become a ballast that complements the volume of the rest of the ingredients of the dish. Valuable elements are contained precisely inside the molecules, covered with a strong outer shell. Therefore, if mushrooms are the main ingredient of the dish, then they need to be crushed, at least partially. But for diet food, in order to cause a feeling of satiety in the stomach, large cuts are enough, or if the mushrooms are small, then you can not cut them at all.
The next question is combination of mushrooms with other products. The main difference between the mushroom dish is the smell of mushrooms. Therefore, if you want to preserve the unique aroma of the forest, then do not be zealous with spices. Put aside seasonings with a very spicy and persistent smell. Very carefully, to only emphasize the smell, add bay leaves, dill, parsley, garlic and onions to the soup. Enhance and especially emphasize the mushroom aroma of dairy products. Mushrooms do not contain acid, and to give the appropriate taste, they can be seasoned with sour cream. But remember that chopped mushrooms with sour cream are high-calorie foods. You can, to give a sour taste, use tomato paste or dry white wine.
Mushrooms are most harmoniously combined with potatoes, buckwheat, rice and beans. From meat, choose poultry, pork, liver for mushrooms.
For the preparation of mushroom dishes, it is possible to use different types of mushrooms.
It will be very useful to use dry mushroom powder, which will enhance the flavor of the dish.
If it is necessary to emphasize the presence of mushrooms in the soup, then you can chop some of them so that the dish acquires a higher nutritional value, and put the second part whole (small mushrooms) or cut into slices, or in half lengthwise. Need to consider that mushrooms are significantly reduced in size during cooking, as they consist mainly of water, which will evaporate during the cooking process. Therefore, slicing mushrooms should not be done too small.
Now let's pay attention to the ways of freezing mushrooms, which are important for the first dish of frozen mushrooms.
Fried or boiled frozen mushrooms do not need additional processing, so they can be added to soups, dipped in boiling water, directly frozen. At the same time, they should not be cooked for a long time. Raw frozen mushrooms are boiled for at least 40 minutes in total, but the water is drained twice. After pre-treatment, they are washed and used for frozen mushroom soup.
In cases where mushrooms are bought in a supermarket, it is unlikely that poisonous ones will come across among them, but you should still pay attention to the packaging: mushrooms cannot be re-frozen. Therefore, if the package is covered with ice, this means that the freezing mode has been violated, and such a product is not worth buying. For the same reason, mushrooms are frozen in small portions, for each use as needed. If thawed fresh mushrooms were not cooked immediately, then it is better to throw them away.
Of all the known methods, it is most often used for mushroom soups. hot soup technology:
Based on a clear broth of meat, vegetables and mushrooms. Porcini mushrooms and champignons are suitable for concentrated mushroom broth. After cooking, the broth is clarified by straining, stretching. Sometimes, to obtain a clear broth, it is enough to pre-soak the main ingredient and timely remove the foam formed during the cooking process. In this case, the initial stage of cooking should take place on low heat. It is possible to freeze the broth, which also allows you to quickly prepare soup according to any recipe. To do this, the chilled and strained mushroom broth is poured into small containers, on which sealed plastic bags are first put on. By the way, you can make any broth perfectly transparent using the method of freezing it. To remove various impurities, it is enough to put a frozen briquette in gauze, rolled up in several layers, and wait until the liquid melts and flows out through the filter. It is also convenient to use disposable towels for this purpose. After filtering, the frozen broth is used for soups as usual.
Soup filling, using sautéed vegetables, tomato supplements, with or without flour.
thickened soup, in which, according to technology, flour, eggs or dairy products, or a mixture of these components are used for thickening.
Roasting technology for the preparation of mushroom soups is used quite often. In particular, this method is recommended if all the liquid has not been removed from the mushrooms during freezing. In the process of roasting mushrooms, this freezing defect is easily eliminated. And fried mushrooms acquire a more interesting taste, especially if they are cooked by frying in butter.
To prepare soup puree or cream great effort or special knowledge is not required - it is enough to use a blender or other technique that can turn any soup into a creamy mass. In this case, you can cook each ingredient separately, then combining them in a blender, or cook the soup in any of the listed ways, making sure that the ratio of thick and liquid mass is approximately the same: this will achieve the density required for puree soups or creams .
The liquid base for mushroom soup can be meat, mushroom or vegetable broth (including frozen), as well as milk or cream. Mushroom soups are also prepared on fish broths, but at the same time you have to choose which flavor to give preference to - fish or mushroom.
Mushrooms in the soup can be used both as the main ingredient and as an additional one.

If you are harvesting mushrooms for the winter on your own, then remember that they must be collected away from the city, from the highway, as they absorb all the pollution from the soil, air and water. When picking mushrooms, unknown species, or those that you doubt, must be decisively bypassed, without even touching them with your hands. The best time to harvest is early morning when both the mushrooms and the ground are covered with dew.
You should buy mushrooms only in retail chains that have certificates. In no case do not use the services of unfamiliar sellers in the market. Sort the mushrooms again before cooking to make sure they are safe.
For mushroom broths, only porcini mushrooms or champignons are suitable.
Prepare a powder from dried porcini mushrooms and store it in a tightly sealed container. Then you don’t have to buy a special mushroom seasoning containing salt and preservatives, and mushroom dishes will always turn out fragrant, as if frozen mushrooms were just brought from the forest.
Soak dried mushrooms in salted milk. They will swell and acquire a fresh smell.
Try to always choose young mushrooms with an unopened hat. Under it are spore-bearing plates or a sponge, into which sand and insects fall when the cap is opened. This saves time when processing mushrooms.
Mushrooms contain almost no acid and sugar, so a small amount of these products will improve the taste of a mushroom dish.
Try to avoid over-consumption of mushrooms: they are difficult to digest, even when cooked properly and very tasty.
