My favourite bowls of soup have always been creamy.
That's right, cream of broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, chicken but best of all, mushroom!
You can make the most decadent bowl of cream of mushroom soup featuring different types of your favourite mushrooms from the grocery store.
Simple and delicious.
In the recipe below the mushroom textures range from fully cooked to semi-cooked. Amazing!
Enjoy!
