Light version mushroom soup.
Today I propose an elegant soup that will serve as an entrée for a special dinner. You can make it with any type of mushrooms, whether fresh or frozen. Do not use only dried ones, but you can combine them with fresh or frozen ones.
To flavor this dish I will use my homemade vegetable stock cube, and to give a light body, I will add ricotta, which I make at home. Below you will find both the traditional recipe and the one with the Thermomix.

For diabetics, it would be advisable to replace the potatoes with sweet potatoes or celeriac.
