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?

I like both!, but I like chunky more as a dinner, and smooth for a light lunch.

Nothing like a warming soup, on a cold day. I swing between smooth soups, and chunky ones. Pumpkin soup, I always like it smooth, but things like Minestrone, of course I prefer very rustic. A nice post.. And Happy New Year! (of course)
