Creamy Hungarian Mushroom Soup
Happy Thursday, Soupers!
Did you know it’s “Mushroom Month?” It is and we’re kicking off the month with our very humble version of a Hungarian Mushroom Soup! For this comforting soup, we used types of mushrooms: button and cremini. If you want to pack in even more flavor, add chanterelles. While we mostly used fresh mushrooms, you can also make a perfectly delicious soup with canned mushrooms as well. Don’t forget the parsley at the end for an extra punch of flavor!
It’s sooooo creamy and good and on a cloudy, coolish day, like today, dang it’s perfect! We’re about it have it with a nice crusty, bread!
That’s it! We promise! Enjoy and let us know how it turns out!
