Winter is a wonderful time of the year to enjoy warm and comforting soups. This soup has to be the best mushroom soup I've ever had and without a doubt the best one I've ever made, so rich and tasty. My husband particularly enjoyed it and said that this was the best thing I had made lately 🙂
I love both chunky and smooth soups, my mom on the other hand hates smooth soups and only likes chunky. I would love to know what kind of soups you prefer, chunky and rustic or smooth and creamy?

My husband made this soup last night and it was very good.

I prefer substantial, chunky soups, but also appreciate broth-based, 'thin' soups. This one was good! Not quite what I'd hoped for but still good.
Marcela
Quick, easy, and delicious!
I followed the directions exactly and the soup was scrumptious!

In response to your question, I love all soups!! As long as its a good soup! Sometimes chunky and rustic hits the spot, sometimes a good new england clam chowder fills me better, or a simple broccoli and cheese is good. Can't go wrong with a sancocho (though admittedly the chicken on the bone thing always gets to me, hate having to pick off the chicken from an extremely hot bone, so I wind up using the same cuts, I just cut the meat off and toss maybe 2 or 3 drumstick bones for the flavor and pull them out when I'm done. Not a big fan of bone in my food. My mom (who is not a chef by any means, love her she's my mom but she can't cook) makes a white shrimp pasta and leaves the tails on.......... I tried explaining that eating a pasta with shrimp tails isn't fun for the eater, I personally take off the tails and then cook the shrimp so you can just eat the pasta and not worry about tails. I do that with some 5 cheese bread or a garlic toast. Mmmm mmm good. =)
For soups, I'd say a medium mix of smooth and chunky, I don't want a potato the size of a plum on my spoon, but then I dont want it to be so smooth that it's like milk.
