Vellutata di funghi porcini alla nonna

Since porcini mushrooms have always been very expensive, she has used a little simple trick to bring the whole thing a little cheaper on the table. How, I tell you below in my tips!

Tip

Porcini mushrooms are very expensive! If you want to prepare this dish cheaper, but still do not want to miss the typical taste, simply replace 3/4 of the porcini with fresh mushrooms. Chanterelles are also perfectly suitable as a combination.
