Creamy Mushroom Soup

Simple to prepare with loads of flavour… A delicious creamy mushroom soup in less than 30 minutes, perfect for your Soup Day…!!

I love mushrooms, so does my husband.  But we often use it as a side dish or an appetizer, and this was my first soup with mushrooms. Whenever we invite friends over to our house, most of our dishes end up being non-vegetarian and it so happened once that my husband suggested a soup for a change, preferably vegetarian, something which we have not made in a while. That’s how I ended trying this out, but unlike the plain/clear soup versions I thought to give it a creamy twist, and it turned out to be pretty good.

I wanted to make a pure vegetarian version of this recipe, and so I have used water instead of chicken stock which is commonly preferred, and it still tasted delicious.
