mushroom soup

Calling all mushroom lovers!!! This is the soup for you—its simple to make, savory and showcases mushrooms in all their glory! This recipe only makes two servings but it is very easy to double or triple. Another tip is to check your produce section for manager markdowns on mushrooms. Often times I find mushrooms on discount and they are perfect for soup! A variety of mushrooms will make for a more flavorful soup!
