Cheese Soup with Mushrooms
6 servings
40 minutes
A wonderful recipe that turns cheese soup - seemingly a simple food - into a noble and interesting dish. And there are a lot of mushrooms here: dried porcini, responsible for nobility and character, and champignons, which give the soup weight , and truffle oil, which immediately transfers the Soviet household classic into the category of serious gastronomy.
