Description
Mushroom soup is one of the most popular dishes in Russia. For this recipe, you can use any fresh mushrooms from our region—ranging from firm and hearty birch boletes to vibrant chanterelles. Dried mushrooms are also suitable, as they will impart character and aroma to the soup, while fresh mushrooms add substance and liveliness. Mushrooms love creaminess, so a generous spoonful or two of rich sour cream will only enhance this wonderful soup. And don’t forget the herbs: the more, the better.
