There are a few soups that will simply get raves when you serve them. Mushroom Soup is definitely one of them. The use of Leeks and Dill in this new original recipe are the perfect compliment to the earthy flavor of the Mushrooms. This is really an easy soup to prepare. A lot of people are put off by the notion of successfully preparing a fine soup. Try my recipe and you will discover that soups do not have to be complicated to be superb. Make this Mushroom Soup for your next soup craving!
Note: You can prepare this soup a day ahead and gently reheat to serve. Do not reboil.
