This amazing creamy soup prepared with chicken, mushrooms, vegetables and seasonings is hearty, satisfying and comforting.
If you’re a mushroom lover (like me), this soup is an absolute must-make. Don’t forget the crusty french bread!
I absolutely LOVE mushrooms. However, I prefer them cooked and not raw. This soup is so hearty, comforting and full of chicken, vegetables and of course… MUSHROOMS!
This recipe makes enough for 4 large portions or 6 average portions. Enjoy!
