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?

That looks fantastic. Good question about the soup texture. I think for creamy soups I like smooth but for not creamy, I like chunky. But I don't think I mind either way! 😀

Mmmm..mushroom soup is my all-time favourite soup! I love both kinds, chunky or smooth, and even consommes, but the hubby definitely prefers chunky style ones.

I love all soups. Sometimes I am in the mood for smooth and creamy soups, but usually in the winter I crave the chunky soups like chili, etc.
The mushroom soup looks great!!
