Mushroom pie with champignons

Description

A hearty and aromatic soup. In the classic version of mushroom soup, dried forest mushrooms are used. But they aren't always easy to obtain. However, there is another variation of this soup—the most popular and accessible version—made with common button mushrooms. Potatoes, grains, and other vegetables are added to this soup. The soup is ready to serve.
