For mushroom soup, mushrooms are most preferred. They cook quickly and can be "undercooked", because they can be eaten generally raw. The original idea is to add mushrooms or forest porcini mushrooms. True, cooking such a soup will take quite a while. Let's look at a clear example of pure mushroom soup for children.
Put the water to boil. Dip 0.5 kg of champignons into it (and more can be done). Cut the potatoes into small cubes and pour into the broth. Now put one onion in water, add a pinch of salt and circles of carrots. Cook for 20 minutes. After take out the onions.

But with what to use our cold remedy? Perfect pic. Or pasta. It is best to boil the cereals in another pan and add to the broth as necessary before you start to heat it. Macaroni is best taken small (cobweb) or curly (stars, alphabet).

Now they’re used to cooking different soups with the help of special “sets”. It is enough to boil water and pour the contents of the bag. Stir everything, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Let's see how you can get a normal tasty soup from this "powder".
First you need to add potatoes, cut into small cubes, and an onion. In addition, carrots will not be superfluous.
If you want to get a richer broth, just cook it separately, and then add the contents of the bag as a “seasoning”. Remember that salt is not necessary.
In order to add flavor to the soup, you can add bay leaf and peppercorns. A few leaves and a couple of peas - and your soup will get an unforgettable taste!
