Very easy and very good. I made it with portabella mushrooms. Thanks for sharing. I will make this again for sure!! -
Made for post-periodontal recovery. What a great soup! DH (not the post-op patient) was circling & looking hopeful every time I brought this out of the fridge to reheat. It is rich & satisfying & soft (thank you!). I added sour cream to each serving rather than mix into the soup so it wouldn't break when reheated. I also used a chicken base instead of bouillon granules but otherwise followed recipe w/o changes. Came together fast before going for afternoon surgery (kept me from thinking about upcoming procedure but wasn't a fiddly recipe _ good b/c I was distracted). This worked great for me b/c I can't handle things too warm or too cold right now. This soup is a keeper & i will make after recovered, probably trying an iteration with some dried chantrelles, morels & cepis I got stashed away. That being said, this is a lovely soup w/o other adornments, one I will be happily making again! Thank you Denise in da Kitchen for this tasty recipe! -
Great soup Denise! I sauteed some fresh garlic in with the onions and mushrooms and used half and half cream, the addition of the sour cream gives this soup a wonderful tangy flavor, thanks for sharing hon my DH loved this soup!...Kitten:)

I LOVE to cook and eat and read cookbooks. My kitchen really does overfloweth with them and of course this has quickly become my favorite cooking site! I live with my husband in a small town in eastern Connecticut. We are both retired. My children are all grown and have families of their own now. Our 3 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter all live in Florida and it goes without saying that we miss them very much, so when my husband retired last year we celebrated by buying a small RV! We so enjoyed driving it to Florida to spend the holidays with the little ones. Although COVID has prevented us from repeating the trip this year, I am enjoying learning new recipes to make in our RV for next year. I think the Instant Pot and the Crock Pot will be my new best friends while traveling!
