stoutfellowThe last few weeks, I've been a bit too distracted to do much cooking, but this week I decided to get back into the swing of things by making a pot of mushroom soup. It's been a long time since I made any kind of soup from scratch, and I've never made mushroom soup before. The recipe called for a full pound of chopped mushrooms, and they looked very bulky floating in the stock, but they shrank to an acceptable density in the course of the cooking.
The recipe also called for cayenne pepper, and as a result it's a bit on the picante side for me, but it's pretty tasty despite this. A bowl of the soup, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and a glass of milk to cut the fire makes for a nice, filling meal on a cool wet day like today.
