Mushroom Soup

Even in this sweltering heat, one weekend evening, we went to a small local restaurant to have something very light and ordered steaming hot mushroom soup served in a paper cup. It was thick, delicious and satisfying. Since then, I wanted to try it and I finally made it.

I bought these fresh huge mushrooms and I believe they are called as Shiitake Mushrooms which were so pretty and beautiful that couldn’t help taking pictures of it.

Mushroom soup is easy to make and is warm, creamy, and comforting. This soup can be incredibly filling and can be easily eaten as a stand-alone meal or with a piece of crusty bread. It is also a healthy replacement of meat.

Note:

*I haven’t added any veg stock as I ran out of it. Hence I replaced it with water and a bit of cream for creamy flavor.
