Mushroom soup directions:

1. Start by boiling 3 dl of water. Put the dried mushrooms in a fireproof bowl and pour over the boiling water. Leave to infuse for at least 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, chop the yellow onion, crush the garlic and cut it up as well. Cut the fresh mushrooms into suitable pieces. Now put the butter in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Put on medium heat and add in onions, garlic and fresh mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let it all simmer on medium heat for a 10-12 minutes. Until the onion and mushrooms are soft.
3. Now strain off the dried mushrooms. Take care of the strainer water. You may need to strain this twice to get rid of impurities. Often it can contain a little sand etc. Roughly chop this mushroom. Put it in the pot. Then sprinkle on flour, and stir well so that all the flour is evenly distributed.
4. Add the chicken broth and the strained mushroom water from the mushrooms, as well as the herbs. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Do not be impatient. The cooking time allows the flavours to develop.
5. Put about ½ of the soup in a blender, and run it until it is completely smooth. Pour it back into the saucepan.
