Mushroom soup with chicken stock recipe

Step by step recipe of Mushroom soup with Chicken stock recipe with photos.

Winter calls for warm comforting soups, although, here in Karachi, we seem to have ever lasting, tormenting summers. Even at the beginning of November, we are comfortable in our summer lawn shalwar kameez and still sweating. Although, morning are cool now. But that doesn’t stop soup lovers from enjoying soup. We enjoy hot soups in summers too sitting in our Air conditioned room, although, winter calls for mellow and mild soup.

In summers, tomato soup, Chicken corn soup with slims chips, cucumber soup are preferred. While in winters, Khurdi (bone soup with milk), almond soup and coconut soup with sweet corns taste better.

Here’s another mild chicken mushroom soup with creamy touches. The soup taste better next day so make large batch that you can enjoy afterwards. Mushroom and baby corn make good friends so do add baby corns if you can grab a few. I’m using canned mushroom which are easily available here but fresh once are best. I have kept the soup simple and thin but you can add more cream or a  few tablespoons  of evaporated milk. Add thyme, parsley or experiment with new herbs and let me know too in the comments.
