So soups are a favorite amongst many but I am personally not a fan. Till now, my love and thrive for making them has grown. Once you get the hang of it, its soooo easy and you can do whatever you want. This is an old school way of making soup, we can applaud the French for that. Mushrooms are widely used in basically everything and a soup is no exception. Having allot of B Vitamins, good for your heart, skin, blood cells etc why not throw this into your diet, if you hate the texture then is a sure way to win you over. Not to mention saving you loads when it comes to your pocket and waistline.
