Cream of Mushroom Soup with Tarragon - I can't tell you how much I love mushroom soup. I also love mushroom soup with tarragon. The tarragon really brings out the flavour of the mushrooms whilst adding an aniseedy touch. It is up there as one of my fave soups. It tastes so much better then it looks too!
