  • 3 cups reduced-sodium beef or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 pound small white mushrooms, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Combine dried mushrooms and water in small bowl. Let stand until softened, about 20 minutes. Transfer mushrooms and liquid to sieve set over medium bowl. Reserve mushroom liquid. Rinse mushrooms to remove any grit; pat dry with paper towels and finely chop. Pour mushroom liquid into 5- or 6-quart slow cooker.

Add broth, dried mushrooms, fresh mushrooms, carrot, celery, onion, bay leaf, dill, salt, and pepper to slow cooker. Cover and cook 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low. Discard bay leaf. Stir in 1 tablespoon of parsley.

Ladle soup evenly into each of 4 soup bowls. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons of sour cream and one-fourth of bacon; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.

*Be sure to rinse the dried mushrooms thoroughly to remove all the grit.
