White mushroom soup

That is why the soup of porcini mushrooms and its recipe can be found in the national cookbooks of those peoples whose settlements are located in the mountains. Such stews are popular among Romanians, in western Ukraine, among Bulgarians, etc. In the review, we will talk about the history of the dish, the features of its preparation and, of course, the benefits that can be derived from it.

Soup history

Soup is most often the first dish, which is cooked by boiling. The main ingredient in soup is liquid. In the classic version, the soup consists of at least half water. However, often kvass, kefir, whey, fruit juices and even wine are also used as a base. All soups are usually divided according to the method of heat treatment into cold and hot. As you understand, the first ones do not require cooking, while the second ones require heating and boiling without fail. In addition, soups are filling, mashed, thickened with flour or cream and transparent.

Our soup of dried porcini mushrooms belongs to the category of transparent, cooked on water and with mandatory heat treatment in the form of boiling. Cep mushroom soup and its recipe is a cross between broth and stew. Rather, it is the union of these two dishes. Judge for yourself: broth is a liquid decoction of beef, pork or chicken meat, which is prepared by boiling the meat ingredient in boiling water. Chowder is a vegetable broth, in which the taste of the main ingredient should definitely prevail, in our case it is porcini mushroom soup. The main condition for the preparation of stew is the absence of meat. At the same time, vegetables are also not added to the usual broth, which means that this soup can be considered a successful union of two different dishes.

In general, soup is a dish with a rich and long history. It is believed that the preparation of this dish began with the invention of special dishes made of ceramics and stone, which made it possible to cook food. This happened about 500 years ago. Moreover, in the East this process took place about 100 years earlier than in Europe. It is also interesting that when cooking in those days, the decoction of the products itself was not used, and therefore it was difficult to call the soup a soup in our imagination. Another feature of the soup can be called its belonging to the food culture of settled peoples. Those who had their own house and life could afford to include soups in their diet. The nomads basically continued to eat one-component dishes obtained as a result of hunting.

Obviously, over time, the beneficial properties of hot liquid dishes were established, which led to their significant distribution and a sharp increase in popularity. Thus, today there are about 150 categories of soups, which in turn include more than 1000 recipes. It is also interesting that each of these recipes involves many cooking options. So, for example, shchi can be cooked in at least 25 different ways, and fish soup no less than 20. So it is quite obvious that each of us can bring his own unique flavor to the soup and make it special, but no less tasty. And what can be said about the benefits of such a dish, given that today we are preparing soup from porcini mushrooms, and dry ones.

First of all, it contains a lot of riboflavin, which is responsible for the functioning of the thyroid gland, potassium phosphates that provide energy, as well as carbohydrates, proteins and glycogen, which provide mushrooms with high nutritional value.

With all these pluses, it should be remembered that mushrooms are quite heavy food for the body, which means that it is better not to include such a product in the diet of children under 7 years old.
