Matsutake dragon bone soup

Matsutake dragon bone soup

Overview

This matsutake was brought back by my husband and son from a self-driving trip to Tibet last summer. As soon as I opened the bag, I smelled a strong natural fragrance. The soup cooked with matsutake and the water in which it is soaked does not need extra seasonings such as MSG at all, just salt and a little sugar. The final soup and meat exude a natural aroma of mushrooms, and you can eat the natural umami taste of the ingredients.
