Fresh Mushroom and Lean Pork Soup

Why people make this soup

Organically grown fresh mushrooms have a cleaner, sweeter aroma than ordinary ones and make a wonderful everyday soup. Nourilo had hoped to use fresh monkey-head mushrooms (there’s an old saying, “monkey-head in the mountains is the equal of bird’s nest from the sea”), but they can be hard to find, and white beech mushrooms are a fine substitute. All fresh mushrooms carry polysaccharides, which traditional cooks associate with supporting the body, so this simple soup makes an easy, tasty everyday choice.
