Shitake mushrooms fresh or dried, can be made into delicious soups. One of
the best I've had was Carpathian mushrooms made into a soup with potatoes
and onions. The Carpathian were a special flavour, just like the shitake,
and formed the main seasoning and broth. Your fiance may like this. Just
don't call it Oriental!
