Cabbage soup with mushrooms

Studies show that it is possible to assess the strength and well-being of a family by how often soup is cooked in it. Family is necessarily a joint meal. In my family, the traditional first course is cabbage soup, especially everyone likes cabbage soup with mushrooms. This culinary recipe is passed down from generation to generation. And such soup is prepared very simply. Thoroughly rinse the dry porcini mushrooms and leave them in cold water for three hours. Then cook in the same water over low heat for an hour. The resulting broth is filtered, and the cooked mushrooms are cut into cubes and put back into the broth. Finely chop the onion and fry it lightly in olive oil, add carrots, turnips, shredded cabbage, and a little water grated on a coarse grater. Simmer the vegetable mixture under a closed lid for about 15 minutes, after the time has elapsed, add everything to the boiling mushroom broth, salt and cook until the cabbage is ready. We serve soup with sour cream and finely chopped herbs. Cabbage soup with mushrooms will be appreciated by supporters of a healthy lifestyle and vegetarians. This kind of food is especially good on fast days.
