Ingredients I took for a pot of 2.5 liters. Mushrooms (it is better to take fragrant: white, birch, aspen) wash, peel, cut into cubes and put into the pot in cold water. Also add Bay leaf. A pot is put on a strong fire, like boiled - fire abated.

Cucumbers cut into, and after 15 minutes add the mushrooms. Cook everything for about an hour.

Peel the vegetables. Potatoes, tomatoes, onion cut into cubes. Carrots grate on a grater.

To do fried. Oil can pour more, because other fat in the soup will not be - but it's not for everybody. I usually fry everything together: first fill up the onion, lightly fry, then carrot, the carcass until soft, then tomatoes and tomato paste. You can fry everything separately - again not for everybody.

Fried ready to run together with the potatoes in the soup. I have put this seasoning: a dry mixture of peppers and onions. Turned out very flavorful.
