Autumn and winter are the perfect time to prepare warming and aromatic soups that are associated with home comfort and care.

Among the first courses, mushroom soup occupies a special place.

This dish is considered very refined and noble. Mushrooms themselves are a unique product that has a beneficial effect on the body.

Therefore, the recommendation to add vodka to such a luxurious dish seems quite unexpected.

Why add a strong alcoholic drink when making mushroom soup?

As it turns out, vodka has a very important task: it makes the taste of mushrooms stronger and more pronounced. Therefore, using alcohol will make the first course more aromatic and rich.

As a rule, vodka is added at the same time as the potatoes.

Two large spoons will be quite enough.
