This is a must for long and cold winters, popular in Europe and North America alike. The preparation is very simple: all you need is a mixture of flour and fat, added to milk or cream, and of course the famous mushrooms!

Borscht is of Russian origin and gets its purple color from one of its main ingredients, beetroot. The recipe is very rich in vegetables (carrots, cabbage, onions, garlic, tomatoes), but we should not forget dill. If you want, you can also add meat; most often beef or pork. A true delight!

Chestnuts cooked in chicken broth, diced foie gras sautéed for 10 seconds on each side and Parmesan shavings added after the soup is prepared. Unforgettable.
The great classic of gastronomy in Marseille, France! For those who don't know, it's a soup made with rock fish (red mullet, conger eel, sea bream...) cooked in a broth and flavored with garlic, saffron, or olive oil. Enjoy it with toasted bread.
The diced potatoes and lamb's lettuce must be simmered in water before being blended. To enhance the taste, add some raw lamb lettuce to the soup after it has been prepared.
An old-fashioned but still delicious soup. Cut the cress into stalks and chop the leaves before adding them to the broth, which should also contain celery. You can save some cress leaves for decoration.
This is an amazing name for a relatively simple recipe: Boil diced potatoes, mash them, and whisk in the milk until creamy.
