1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 ounce dried Porcini mushrooms
2 cups water
2 large hallots, cut into chunks, -- about 1/4 cup

In a pot place the potatoes in enough water to cover and cook until tender, and
then drain.
Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan bring the 2 cups of water to a boil with the

liquid remains.
Remove the mushrooms and shallots from the liquid, reserve the liquid and set

potatoes, process or
blend until finely chopped. Strain the reserved mushroom liquid and place in
