Method

6 steps · 45 minutes

Soak the dried porcini in hot water for 20 minutes and keep every drop of that liquid. It is the strongest part of the drink.
Brown the fresh mushrooms hard in the butter, dry pan first, until they squeak and take real color. Pale mushrooms make pale broth.
Add the garlic, thyme, the soaked porcini and both waters, and simmer 20 minutes uncovered.
Strain it, pressing the mushrooms firmly, then throw them away — they have given everything they had.
Pour the soaking liquid in last and leave the gritty bit at the bottom of the bowl behind.
Soy for depth, salt and pepper to finish. It keeps four days and is better reheated than fresh.
