There’s nothing better than a creamy mushroom soup once the weather starts getting cooler. If mushroom isn’t your thing, I also have a wonderful Cream of Asparagus Soup, my Dad’s Famous Cauliflower Soup and a creamy Carrot Ginger Soup.

I first posted this recipe December 2010, back when I was still working a full time job and running home to cook and take photos. Most of those photos are pretty bad, so I am slowly re-shooting them. The photo just didn’t do this soup justice – it’s so flavorful and light at the same time, even my teen who could care less about eating “light” often requests this.

And, it’s so simple to make, the shitake mushrooms give this soup incredible flavor, I wouldn’t substitute them. If you are watching your sodium, you can certainly use less bouillon or replace it with chicken broth.

Enjoy!
