Traditional Czech Potato Soup!

I have just had my favourite soup for lunch and have decided to share our family recipe with you. One of the most important ingredients are the wild mushrooms, which Czech people collect in forests in summer. If you don't have these, just use Porcini mushrooms, which are available at any supermarket. If you use other mushrooms, the soup will not be the same, but probably still very yummy.

Ingredients:

• 1,5 l cold water
  
• 500 g potatoes diced
  
• 100 g vegetables (onion, celeriac, carrots, parsnips) diced
  
• 50 g wild mushrooms ( porcini could be used also) chopped
  
• 70 g butter
• 50 g flour
• salt
• 1 clove of garlic chopped
  
• 1/4 ts marjoram
  

Melt butter in heavy 4-qt sauce pan. Add diced potatoes, celeriac, parsnips, onions, and carrots. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally until lightly browned. Sprinkle with flour, and stir until well coated. Add cold water, marjoram, salt, pepper, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to very low, and partially cover pot. Simmer for 25 min, until potatoes are tender.

Hope you will love it, we do! Let me know what you think.
