Cream of Mushroom Soup

[MintTeaMascara]

Lovely nutritious soup and a really good recipe. This is the second I've used off of this website now and the quantities seem to be just right.

I can imagine it must be good in this weather with such limited sunshine

Hello MintTeaMascara,

Looks great, I’m going to try it tomorrow. I bought ingredients, so all ready.

I have a quick foodie question- what does the handful of Shiitake mushrooms do compared to the ordinary ones? Do they change the flavoring? Is it just for decorating? They appear to be much more expensive...

Cheers,

Sarah

Hello..

I used mainly baby portobello, some chestnut and some shiitake mushrooms. I didn't quite work out which mushrooms the recipe called for and it made about 2 litres of soup.

I've never used shiitake mushrooms before and tasting them raw... compared to the others I didn't like them much, they're supposed to add flavour but I can't see them making that much difference to the flavour to be honest.
