Advice:
– To prepare croutons, peel the loaf with a knife, and then cut it into slices or cubes as desired. Brown the pieces of bread in a heated pan with vegetable oil or on a baking sheet in the oven.
-If you have a very dark soup, it means that you overfried the mushrooms and onions, so carefully monitor the readiness of the mushrooms in the pan.
– Mushroom cream soup can be prepared from any mushrooms to your taste, as well as from dried ones.
– Instead of chicken broth, you can take vegetable broth or just boiled water, but then the taste of the soup will not be so rich.
– To make chicken stock, take any parts of the chicken, put them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat until the chicken is cooked. Then remove the chicken meat from the broth with a slotted spoon and strain it with a sieve.
