Mushroom soup in a slow cooker turns out to be filling,tasty, rich, as if from a Russian oven. Having tried it once, you will undoubtedly want to cook it again and treat your friends and acquaintances. The very name "Mushroom" implies the presence of mushrooms. Which ones to choose? For this dish, both forest mushrooms are suitable, for example, porcini mushrooms, birch boletes, aspen mushrooms, chanterelles and other edible representatives of this family, and champignons specially grown for sale. If you decide to use a recipe with forest mushrooms, then use either those personally collected by you and your friends, or bought from trusted sellers. Mushrooms absorb, like a sponge, everything that is in the air around the place where they grow. Therefore, if the mushrooms bought from a stranger grew near the highway, then they will definitely not bring any benefit.
