Mashroom Soup

Ingredients:
1 large carrot
2 large potatoes
1 pkg of 8 oz. mashrooms
3 cups cooked rice
1/2 onion

*** Note, that the amount of every vegetable is up to you. If you like more carrots in your soup - go ahead and add more! If you like more rice- add more rice :)
___________________________________

Directions:
Boil cut up carrots and potatoes for about 25 min. Make sure there is plenty of water for the soup. You might like slighlt cooking mashrooms and onion in the skillet, but I don't like overcooking my food, so I directly put onion and mashrooms, raw and cut up, into the boiling water with carrots and potatoes. Add cooked rice along with mashrooms. Cook for another 5-10 min.
I serve this soup with a tablespoon of sour cream and some parsley.

Stuffed Russian Crepes w/Mashrooms

Ingredients:
For Crepes:
1 egg
flour
water
salt
sugar
oil
cooking spray
(sorry, I never measure when I make them, but if there is a request, I will measure next time I make them and post it here).

For Filling:
2 large potatoes
1 8oz. package of mashrooms
1/2 onion
salt
olive oil
______________________________________
Directions:
Peel, boil, and mash potatoes. Save the water from boiling potatoes to add to them when you mash them, so that your mash potatoes are not dry.
Slightly fry onions, add mashrooms, close the lid (I do it in the skillet). Once all cooked, add to mash potatoes.

Then put a tablespoon of the filling into the crepe and fold on four sides. Sometimes Russians would put them back on the skillet and get them fried a little more, but I don't like over cooking my food, so I serve them as they are with sour cream.
