90 minutes
Game puree soup is a refined dish of Russian cuisine rooted in the traditions of hunting feasts. It combines a rich meat broth with the tenderness of partridges or woodcocks, which after frying and careful mashing acquire a velvety texture. The addition of cream and egg yolks gives the soup softness and depth of flavor, while bay leaf and parsley root reveal its aromatic notes. It is served with crispy croutons that create a pleasant contrast with the creamy base. This soup is perfect for a cozy lunch in cold weather, warming and nourishing with its noble taste.
