Postnaya Lapsha

The soup should be of a not very thick consistency with pieces of mushroom and the noodles well disposed in it. This is a Russian recipe; they would probably use sunflower oil for the initial frying. Sunflower oil has its own particular flavour and if available should be used instead of butter.

If boletus edulis are used the caps should be taken off the stems and sliced. The thick stems should be scraped, and chopped up quite small, as they are tougher than the fleshy caps.</
