Soup made from dried white mushrooms
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. First, soak the mushrooms beforehand, and only then start cooking the soup. Boil the potatoes, and sauté the onions and carrots. Then mix everything together in a pot and simmer; add the spaghetti at the end. Cook until done. Let the finished dried white mushroom soup sit for a few minutes, then serve with sour cream. Ladle into bowls and serve.
