Mushroom Soup :
This Mushroom soup is one of my favourite soups of all time. Mushroom soup is a delicious, healthy, simple and quick to make. I am sure once you taste it you will definitely like this classic, smooth cream of mushroom soup.
This soup is light, fresh and low in fat. I used a little amount of butter for making this, you can use olive oil, instead of maida you can use wheat flour too. The original recipe calls for cream but you can skip that and use only milk. It tasted amazing.
