FAVORITE MARVELOUS MUSHROOM SOUP

Favorite Marvelous Mushroom Soup image

Meet the Cook: Soup is tops on the list of things I love to cook. I've used this one as the beginning course to a meal...and as a Sunday supper with hot rolls and butter. When we had a small restaurant in Arizona, I made my mushroom soup every day. We never had any left over. It got raves at a deli I worked at, too. I never cooked very much until my husband and I were married, 48 years ago. We're the parents of three grown sons and the grandparents of 12. -Beverly Rafferty, Winston, Oregon

Tips:

Use a variety of mushrooms: Different mushrooms offer unique flavors and textures, so combine several types to create a more complex soup. Consider using cremini, shiitake, oyster, and chanterelle mushrooms, for example.
Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup: This step enhances their flavor and helps to brown them slightly, which adds depth to the soup's taste.
Use a good quality vegetable broth: A flavorful broth is the foundation of a great soup, so don't skimp on the quality. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real vegetables.
Season the soup to taste: Don't be afraid to taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or dried thyme to suit your preferences.
Garnish the soup before serving: A sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dollop of sour cream, or a few croutons can add a pop of color and flavor to your soup.
