ABOUT Cream of Mushroom Soup RECIPE

This is a simple and yummy recipie. This soup is such a hearty and warming thing to have on a rainy or winter day. I have referred to many online recipies for cream of mushroom soup and arrived at this with few modifications, Like I generally do not have ready vegetable/ chicken stock with me, so instead I have added maggie masala cubes and water. Also addition of nutmeg and thyme gave this a very nice flavour. Trust me, it has never failed me ever. This tasty and healthy recipie is a must try.
