Mushroom Soup with Buckwheat Recipe - Authentic Croatian

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (any variety, such as button or cremini)
  • 1 cup buckwheat (uncooked)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (optional for creaminess)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Prepare the Buckwheat

    Rinse the buckwheat under cold water and drain.

    This helps to remove any debris.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until translucent.

    Do not let them brown.
  3. Add Mushrooms

    Add sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their moisture.

    Stir occasionally for even cooking.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Add the rinsed buckwheat, vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil.

    Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Simmer the Soup

    Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until buckwheat is tender.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Blend (Optional)

    For a smoother texture, blend the soup with an immersion blender until desired consistency.

    Leave some chunks for texture if preferred.
  7. Stir in Cream

    If using, stir in heavy cream just before serving for added richness.

    Heat through but do not boil.
  8. Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy hot.

    Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
