EmailIngredients:
3 large potatoes (1 lb) cubed
½ lb fresh oyster and chanterelle mushrooms sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 bay leaf
sprig of fresh savory
pinch of dried marjoram
salt & pepper to taste
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 shallot finely chopped
2 tbsp tarragon vinegar
2 tbsp chopped chives finely chopped
4 tbsp sour cream or yoghurt
Procedure:
1. Put the potatoes, mushrooms, garlic, bay leaf, savory, marjoram, and salt and pepper into a medium-size stockpot. Cover with about 6 cups of cold water. Cook over medium heat until it boils, then reduce heat and cook for 20 to 30 minutes.
2. In a separate small saucepan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. When hot, sprinkle in the flour and shallots. Brown in order to make a roux, stirring constantly.
3. Add some of the cooking liquid from the soup to thin the roux out and then pour it into the soup. Bring to a gentle boil and remove from heat.
4. Add the tarragon vinegar before serving. To thicken the soup, mash it in the blender. Then garnish with chopped chives and sour cream.
