Traditional mushroom soup

Mushrooms are like sponges when soaked in water for too long and lose their flavor when saturated. For mushrooms bought at the grocery store, the residue is made up of a pasteurized soil on which they grow, there is no danger, so simply brushing them dry with a mushroom brush or a clean kitchen towel is very sufficient. If you absolutely want to wash them or you have wild mushrooms, pass them quickly under cold water once or twice and place them on absorbent paper or a clean kitchen towel to dry them immediately.
