Recipe byThe ZestyPlate Kitchen
A rustic Croatian soup of sauteed mushrooms and nutty buckwheat, enriched with sour cream and finished with parsley and a dash of vinegar.
This Croatian mushroom soup with buckwheat is honest, rustic cooking: savoury mushrooms and nutty buckwheat in a lightly creamy broth, brightened with sour cream and parsley. It is simple to put together and warming to eat. The buckwheat gives it enough body to stand on its own as a light meal.

Warming Soup
Preparation
- Chop the onion and garlic, slice the mushrooms and wash the buckwheat. Heat the oil and lightly sauté the onion. Add the mushrooms and garlic and carry on sautéing. Add the salt, vegetable seasoning, buckwheat and bay leaf, then cover with water. Simmer gently, and just before it is fully cooked, stir in pepper, the sour cream mixed with flour, the chopped parsley and vinegar to taste.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Give the mushrooms a proper sauté before adding any liquid; that is where the savoury flavour comes from.
- Rinse the buckwheat first and stop cooking it while it still has a little bite.
- Whisk the flour into the sour cream before it goes in, or you will get lumps in the broth.
- Finish with the vinegar and parsley to lift the earthy soup with a bit of brightness.
