The best way to extend the shelf life of mushrooms is to dry them. So they will not only retain their nutritional and beneficial properties, but also acquire a stronger smell. It is these qualities that make mushrooms an ideal ingredient for making tasty and fragrant soup.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
It is best to opt for mushrooms: they are very fragrant and rich in vitamins. Mushrooms must be prepared before cooking the soup. To do this, place them in cold water for 2-3 hours. The process can be accelerated by soaking the product in boiling water (it will take only 30-40 minutes).
