Soup with dried mushrooms
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The combination of dried and fresh mushrooms with cream is a classic that will surely delight you. You can use vegetable, mushroom, or meat broth as a base. I don't recommend using just water, as the soup will have a much richer flavor with broth. It's light, so it's perfect even for a summer menu. Remember the recipe: ladle into bowls and serve.
