Mushroom soup

Mushroom soup

Ingredients:
3 big lettuces, washed and cut in strips of 2cm
1 bunch green fresh onions, washed and chopped
500 grams pleurotous mushrooms, cut in thick slices
5-6 big portobello mushrooms, cut in thick slices
A handful dried Porcini mushrooms that we have put in hot water of 5 minutes.
100 grams finocchio, finelly chopped
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 cube chicken stock
1 1/2 lt boiled water
1/2 cup rice
salt
pepper
olive oil
The juice of 2 lemons (or 3 if we want it more sour)

Preparation:
In a big cooking pot we put 5-6 tbps olive oil in strong heat and we saute the green onion and the finocchio for 1-2 minutes. We add the lettuce and we stir till it wilts. Following we add the 1 1/2 lit of boiled water to let the volume of the lettuce 'sit' in our pot. We continue adding he rest of the lettuce until we have used it all. We add the mushrooms, the stock cube, the turmeric, the porcini along with the water they were put in (after we have drained anything porcinis must have left in there). We add salt as per wish and let our food boil for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes we add the rice and we lower the heat so that it simmers for another 15 minutes. We add the lemon juice, we let it boil for another 15 minutes. We serve our dish hot and steamy with fresh bread.

Itadakimasu!
