Creamy Mushroom Soup

Mushroom SoupI normally make clear soups with a lot of spices and herbs. Though I sometimes get a craving for a creamy rich soup with earthy mushrooms. Don’t get me wrong I do not want any butter or cream in my soup to make me feel heavy. I’m talking about the meatiness of the mushrooms which can satisfy my cravings and fill me up. Their robust texture and flavour is great for vegetarian dishes. Not only that, they are an excellent source of iron, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, riboflavin, copper, and zinc. This soup goes well with herbs like rosemary, thyme or parsley, even better if you can get a hold of fresh ones. Have some soup and stay warm everyone x
