It's my Mutti's creation of one of her best quick and easy soup recipes. Absolutely delicious and nutritious as well. But first, take a look at my cream of mushroom soup recipe and see how easy it is.

A Bit of This and a Bit of That ...

• Add a swirl of whipping cream (heavy cream) to each bowl.
• Cooking mushrooms this way by chopping them finely and simmering them is great for those who don't like the 'mushroom feel' in their mouth, but like the flavour.
• Vegetarian? Use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
• Use a good quality chicken stock or, if you go vegetarian, use a vegetable stock. Don't have that available, then use water and bouillon cubes. Works great as well.
