Mushroom Soup: A Superior Gourmet Comfort Food
July 17th, 2008When the nights are cold and dreary, nothing hits the spot quite like a hearty soup. Here are a few ideas for one such meal that will win applause from your family: the ubiquitous international comfort food, mushroom soup.
Mushroom soup is a savory soup of simple origins, which usually begins with a roux of flour and butter. The classic base of mushroom soup is a creamy broth that perfectly complements the juicy texture and flavor of mushrooms. This soup is so easy to make, yet may easily be made into a gourmet meal.
While just the regular white mushroom may be used, you may also include a variety of mushrooms, fresh or dried, to produce a truly delightful four-star dish.
