Wild Mushroom Soup (Minestra Di Funghi Selvatici)

Excellent authentic Italian flavor. A few pots required to make although it's easy to simplify this recipe if you are missing some of the ingredients. It will still turn out quite excellent. The earthiness of the mushrooms yield a great belly warming soup.
