    Creamy Mushroom Cheddar Soup

    When I was recently invited to partner with Horizon Organic to create a recipe using their products, I knew exactly what I was going to make — this comforting and cheesy Creamy Mushroom Cheddar Soup!

    Anyone who knows me well (and if you follow the blog, you know it too) knows that I absolutely LOVE mushrooms. I mean LOVE them. With a passion.

    But it’s like every time I order anything with mushrooms at a restaurant, they always seem to skimp on them… NO LIE! It actually became a joke at one point last year – I’d order EXTRA mushrooms just to see how many I’d get. Didn’t work up until here recently and I finally got a hearty portion of mushrooms with what I ordered (YAY!).

    Mushroom soup topped with croutons in a white bowl by a patterned napkin on a wood surface.

    This soup does NOT skimp on the mushrooms! If you’re a mushroom lover and love them like I do, why have just a few floating around in all of that creamy, cheesy goodness? Don’t think so… not in my kitchen!

    If you’re a mushroom fan like me and love creamy, cheesy, comforting soups in the fall and winter, you’re going to absolutely adore this soup.

    If you’re cooking for more than 2, I suggest doubling the recipe. This recipe yielded about 3 2/3 cups. When I eat soup I want a BIG bowl, so this was about 2 servings for me.

    Enjoy!
