To prepare the cream of potatoes with mushrooms , you need to start with the essential ingredients. Potatoes , rich in starch, guarantee a creamy and full-bodied consistency.
Ingredients
- Use about 500 g of fresh potatoes and make sure you choose quality mushrooms, such as porcini or champignon mushrooms ( 300 g ).
- Also prepare 1 liter of vegetable. You will need 1 onion and 1 clove of garlic to further flavor the cream.
- Start by browning the chopped onion and garlic in 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil together with 20 g of butter . This step allows you to create an aromatic and balanced soffritto. Add the diced potatoes and the cleaned and sliced mushrooms, mixing well.
Instructions
- After browning the ingredients for a few minutes, pour in the vegetable broth. Bring everything to a boil, lower the heat and let it cook for about 30 minutes. Blend everything with an immersion blender until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste . For a finishing touch, you can decorate the cream with a sprinkling of fresh parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Notes
Serve the cream very hot accompanied by croutons or toasted bread to enhance its velvety consistency.
