Mushroom Soup From Herzegovina

"Thick, hearty mushroom soup from Herzegovina. A nice vegetarian option from the Balkans. Serve with red wine and toasted garlic bread. Most of the Balkan, Eastern and Southeastern Europe cookbooks written in English are laughable. I’ve built a collection over time, and am yet to find a decent one. Most recipes supposed to be from the former Yugoslavia, or the Balkans, make no sense. I’ll give you a really small example. One cookbook suggested making pita the same way you’d make a strudel. I sometimes want to call up these authors and be like “You’ve never actually had Balkan food, have you?” I hate on them so hard they were a part of my motivation to start this blog."
