    Ingredients

    • 800 ml water or 3 and 3/8 cups
    • 4 medium potatoes peeled and chopped into chunks
    • 30 grams or 1 oz of dried mushrooms
    • 200 ml or ¾ cup of heavy cream
    • 1 sprig of fresh dill chopped plus extra for garnish
    • 5-7 tablespoons of roux
    • 50 g or ¼ cup butter
    • 4 eggs
    • Caraway seeds
    • Salt & pepper to taste
    • White vinegar

    Instructions

    • Soak the dried mushroom beforehand for at least an hour but preferably overnight.
    • Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with water, add the mushrooms and the water in which they were soaked in.
    • Add a pinch of salt, pepper and caraway seeds.
    • Cook for around 20 minutes until the mushrooms and potatoes are soft.
    • Add the cream and thicken with the roux.
    • Season with vinegar, add the butter to mellow the flavor and add the chopped dill.
    • In a separate pan put some salt and a dash of vinegar and bring almost to a boil. Take a ladle and break an egg into it. Poach the egg in the ladle so the yolk remains soft and is encased in the egg white.
    • Serve each portion with the poached egg and a sprig of dill on top.
    • This soup is very hearty and could easily be served as meal on its own with your favorite bread.
