| 1. Pour 1 cup hot stock over the dried porcini mushrooms in a small bowl; let stand until mushrooms are softened, about 20 minutes. | 2. Drain the porcini, straining the soaking liquid through a coffee filter or a sieve lined with a double thickness of cheesecloth. | 3. Pour the strained soaking liquid into the remaining stock. | 4. Rinse the soaked mushrooms thoroughly to remove any sand/grit. | 5. Drain the mushrooms well and chop them fine. | 6. Heat the olive oil in a deep, heavy 4-5 quart pot over medium heat. | 7. Add in the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to stick and are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. | 8. If necessary, adjust the heat level to prevent the bits of potato that stick from getting too dark. | 9. Stir in the leeks and carrots; season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring, until the leeks are softened, about 2-3 minutes. | 10. Pour in the hot stock and bay leaves; bring to a boil, scraping up the bits of potato that stick to the pot. | 11. Adjust the level of heat to a simmer and season the soup lightly with salt and pepper. | 12. Cover the pot and simmer 15 minutes. | 13. Stir in the zucchini, cover the pot, and continue cooking until the potatoes and zucchini are very tender, about 15 minutes. | 14. Stir in the rice; cook, stirring well, until the rice is al dente-tender, but still firm, about 14 minutes. | 15. Remove the bay leaves; stir the parsley into the soup; check seasonings and add salt/pepper if needed. | 16. Ladle the soup into warm bowls and sprinkle each with some of the grated cheese. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
