I made this soup a couple of weeks ago and it was a pretty cold day. It felt so good to have a delicious cosy soup for lunch. Then I made it again yesterday and again it was devoured by all. 

I think it’s safe to say that I’ve become a soup lover. I mean I have had a lot of it in the last month. I really never thought the day would come where I would actually enjoy soup. I used to really hate it. I just love it's simplicity, versatility, depth of flavours and how satisfied I feel after eating it.

Here are some other soup recipes that have been on the blog:

Moong daal soup

They are all yummy and all have their own unique selling points. Sorry I sound like a car sales person..I mean...do people really talk about soups like that? Lol.

This is a beautiful creamy, flavour loaded soup that honestly tastes divine! It is a recipe that I have adapted from one of my aunts and you really should try it!

I adore garlic sautéed mushrooms because they taste so so delicious and go with everything. I mean they work for breakfast, lunch and dinner right? I love them with burgers especially if there are also caramelised onions in there too. So I kinda knew that I would have to make that one of the steps for this soup because I was looking for a really earthy flavour.

If you have any leftover cream of mushroom soup, now is the time to use it up! Just add it to the soup, to enhance the flavour even more. 🙂
