  1. I really enjoyed this quick and easy to make soup. The halloumi cheese croutons and fried sage were the perfect accompaniments for the soup, adding additional flavor and texture. The soup was soft and subtle. I did add salt and pepper to bring out more of the mushroom flavor. Thanks for sharing this tasty recipe that I will make again and again.
     
  2. Last week it was my mother-in-laws birthday so we went out for dinner. We all had a bowl of mushroom soup each and I had to try this recipe because we all enjoyed the soup. I omit the sage and used lactose free cream otherwise I kept to the recipe. We all enjoyed it and even thought it was better then the one we had at the restaurant. Thanks I'mPat for a lovely recipe.
     
  3. I didn't keep any whole mushrooms as directed for garnish as my DD will not eat them unless the are pulverized. She doesn't like the consistency of them but enjoys the taste. I added the Haloumi cheese to the oil to early so they didn't staye nicely cubed, but, the flavour was amazing. I will be making this recipe often. thanks for sharing.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
