1 lb. fresh mushrooms
4 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
6 cups cold water
4 small new potatoes, thinly sliced
2 onions, minced
1 stalk celery, minced
4 scallions, minced
1 Tbsp. parsley, minced
1 cup sour cream
pepper to taste
minced fresh dill to taste
Slice unpeeled mushroom caps and chop stems. Melt 3 Tbsp. butter in a pot. Add mushrooms and minced onion. Cook slowly for 20 minutes. Add salt, water, and sliced potatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Potato slices should be tender, but whole. Saute celery, scallions, and parsley in a separate pan, using remaining 1 Tbsp. of butter. Add to mushroom/potato mix. Cool. Dilute the sour cream with a little water from the mushroom/potato soup. Boil up once and then add to the pot. Just before serving, dust the soup with pepper and minced fresh dill.
