Some days are busy and we don’t have so much time to cook. We need to train too ;). But however we always wish to eat something good and healthy, no fast food or mass produced. Training and good food is perfect combination for the healthy and happy mind and body.
Whenever I have a desire to eat something light but filling I think about mushroom soup. That was the choice of today.
Inspiration for this soup came from Jamie’s book. We made it so many times that we put some of our touches in the recipe. Usually we also get a garlic bread with it. It is a great combination.
Mushrooms can be found all year round. There is no restrictions on which ones you use. Try different varieties and stick to the ones you like the best. This soup is beautifully creamy and filling, no need to for cream or other fattening ingredients. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.
