To make mushroom cream soup from champignons finely chopped onions and grated mushrooms fry in butter for 10-15 minutes, covering the lid. Mushrooms can be passed through a meat grinder with a frequent grating, several hats can be cut into slices separately, fried and added to the finished dish as an ornament. After dressing (frying) the mushrooms with onions, add salt and pepper to taste, fill in the flour, and stirring constantly, to avoid the adhesion of flour to the bottom of the dishes, fry all this for a few more minutes. The flour can be fried and separately, until it acquires a light beige shade and the smell of a roasted nuts, and then added to the finished roast.

If you depart a little from the classic recipes, you can cook not only cream soup, but also mushroom soup-puree - an even more tasty and nutritious dish. Differences in soup-mashed potatoes from soup-cream are few - thanks to the addition of legumes or vegetables, such as pumpkin, carrots, potatoes that contain high starch content, the mashed potatoes have a more granular consistency. Concerning our dish, the consistency of mashed potatoes is achieved in the following way: instead of the steep boiling water with which we pour frying of flour, mushrooms and onions, take a decoction of lentils, beans, beans, peas or vegetables. The boiled legumes and (or) vegetables are wiped through a sieve into a decoction, and they are poured into the decoction.

Only during the fasting period, the recipe for mushroom cream soup without cheese and cream should be slightly adjusted - remove milk and replace butter with vegetable, or cook soup.
