Using a slotted spoon, remove porcini mushrooms from water and add them to stockpot. Increase heat to medium high and add Marsala. Cook for 1 minute.

Slowly pour the porcini liquid into stockpot, leaving any sediment behind. Add the potato and chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender. Turn off heat and let soup cool slightly for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Using a standard or immersion blender, puree soup until smooth. If using a standard blender, puree in small batches to prevent spillage.
