Wild hedgehog mushroom soup is full of umami flavor and is perfect for the autumn season. The soup consists of hedgehog mushrooms, garlic, onion, white wine, vegetable stock, and a bit of heavy cream. It is a perfect appetizer as well as main course.
You can use all kinds of wild mushrooms including hedgehog mushrooms, chanterelles, funnel chanterelles, black trumpet mushrooms, and much more. I love mixing the wild mushrooms as well. On the picture above you might spot a few funnel chanterelles mixed in with the hedgehogs in the soup.
There is nothing better than foraging for wild mushrooms and making it into a tasty, filling soup like this one. Just make sure that the wild mushrooms used in the soup are in good condition – they should be fresh and firm, and without larvae, maggots and dirt. The best way to clean mushrooms is to brush them clean and cut them open to check for insects. Moreover, you should always be 100% sure that you have correctly identified the wild mushrooms that you are planning to eat!
Good luck with your foraging and soup-cooking!
