About

We’ve spent the holidays together for years now, and this elegant soup has become the traditional start to our Christmas meal. It has a rich, earthy flavor that makes even those who swear they don’t like mushrooms ask for seconds. We feel good serving it to family and friends, knowing mushrooms help strengthen the immune system and bolster energy reserves for the busy season.
