Soups were cooked from mushrooms, they were added to cabbage soup. Pies with mushrooms were also very popular. Gubnitsa is a mushroom soup, gribovnitsa. The soup got this name because in the Vyatka region, as well as in the Russian North in general, mushrooms were called lips. They say that the birthplace of gubnitsa is Vyatka, and this soup was first cooked in the northern part of the Vyatka province. In the traditional version, the soup is cooked from porcini mushrooms, aspen mushrooms and birch boletes. You can cook it from frozen mixtures, but nothing compares to the taste of fresh seasonal mushrooms.
