creamy comfort mushroom soup
Our family adores cream soups... The creamier, the better! With this one, we love to make a loaf of sourdough in the bread maker and serve thick slices with the soup for dipping. A variety of mushrooms can be used in this soup, but we like to keep it easy and inexpensive. This is one of those ultimate comfort foods, pure and simple!
