I'm a big fan of soups. Whenever I dine out, I always order soup but I rarely make them at home. Yesterday, I got a packet of fresh button mushrooms from the market and thought of making it. I was skeptical at first but this soup turned out wonderfully!! It's a great appetizer and it'll surely win your heart. This silky, creamy mushroom soup is perfect for a lunch or a dinner party starter. It can help by filling you up without too many calories.

This soup is creamy and full of rich flavors and textures. I love the combination of mushrooms and cream here. It took me less than 30 minutes to make this recipe. You can grind the mushrooms in any type of blender. Frankly, I don't use my blender often but it's a very convenient way to make rich, creamy and velvety soups. You can substitute cream by adding more milk in the soup. It depends on your taste. Treat yourself to this hearty and warming cream of mushroom soup.
