Cream of Mushroom Soup

I haven’t met a soup I don’t like yet.. It’s one of my favourite meals. This is such a simple recipe and yet it is so tasty. I like to garnish it with homemade croutons or thinly sliced mushrooms and finely chopped spring onions and chilli…. For a luxury touch add a spoon of sour cream or natural yoghurt… Delicious!
