Here, you'll find one way of how to cook mushrooms that makes a soup that is so delicious. It's made from scratch but really is easy.

Dress it up with a swirl of cream, some raw mushroom slices and chopped parsley. Or, you could slightly fry some sliced mushrooms, if you prefer, and garnish with them.

Want super quick and easy? Below this recipe, you'll to find a link to a soup that uses both fresh mushrooms and canned soup?!?

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.
