   How to cook lentil soup with wild mushrooms? The first step is to collect mushrooms, or buy them in a store or at the market. The recipe used Polish and porcini mushrooms collected in the forest.

   Wash mushrooms thoroughly, remove all forest debris, remove damaged and wormy specimens. Leave the small mushrooms whole, and cut the larger ones into small pieces.

   Fill the mushrooms with cold water, put on a strong flame, after boiling, remove the foam, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 20-30 minutes.

Stir the roast and cook for about three more minutes.
