Chunky Cream of Mushroom Soup

by - Sunday, May 16, 2010

I was searching around for a simple Cream of Mushroom Soup 'cause Mom was making Western Meal for Sunday dinner. And I'm tired of the soups that we always drink from Campbell cans. I love the kind where we always get to eat at Soup Spoon and Souplicious. YUMZ!

So I came across a few sites that had quite good recipes, including Jamie Oliver's site. Uh oh, I think I'm becoming a fan of him soon, I have the urge to buy his books! But his recipe asked for Porcini which I have no idea where to get in a short notice. So I managed to get the recipe from Evan's Kitchen Ramblings and modified the recipe a little. The recipe is to keep! It tastes great though CL said something was missing from the soup still. Hmmmm...
