aside from carrot and coriander soup, mushroom is my second favorite.a shame that i don't know how to make one from scratch and the hubby and little one are not the soupy types. but, me...ha!ha!ha!like our sunshine dear chay, serve with baguette and butter on side...a perfect meal!
ReplyDeleteHey Eng ! one thing I learn from Americans.. they make simple foods! One main course, one or two side dishes, a bowl of salad, a pie and they already call it a party !
ReplyDeleteI love mushroom soup -and this one from scratch is worth all the effort -what with sodium found in can soups! Thanks for sharing, Chay!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a cold pesto pasta, but what are some other ideas?What is some quick and tasty food I can make to take to the river that is eaten cold.Thanks.
