Mushroom soup from frozen mushrooms
Description
A hearty first course. It's very convenient to use ready-made mushroom and vegetable mixes for preparing mushroom soup. This saves time and effort in the kitchen. If desired, you can enrich the soup with processed or hard cheese, which will give it a special creamy texture and incredible flavor. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
