Polish Mushroom Soup Recipe

Polish Mushroom Soup Recipe

Polish cuisine has always integrated mushrooms into several of their dishes, due to the fact that Poland contains a lot of dense forests. Zupa grzybowa (mushroom soup) is one of the ways that Poles enjoy the mushroom. This Polish mushroom soup recipe is a Nuevo version, as it is derived from the traditional soup and has been tweaked to our tastes and likings. Enjoy!

We preface all of our wine pairing suggestions by letting you know that it’s really a matter of personal taste. While we do offer our opinions and why we selected a specific varietal, there is no right or wrong answer when pairing a wine with your dinner.

Sauvignon Blanc
This Polish mushroom soup recipe is a very flavorful dish with the soup base, mushrooms, dill and sour cream. You want to find a wine that accompanies the dish without overpowering it, or taking away from the flavors of the soup. I feel that a Sauvignon Blanc does just that. It’s light and none of the flavors are going to take away from the soup. Follow the link to our wine review site to find our favorite Sauvignon Blanc wines-LetsHaveWine.com
