This Wild Mushroom Soup recipe is for the mushroom lovers out there! It is delicious, quick and easy to make, and packed with lots of mushroom goodness. Did you know that mushrooms are not only yummy but are also healthy due to the abundance of nutrients and vitamins they contain? Mushrooms are protein-packed little creatures, fat-free, plus they hardly have any carbohydrates but are full of fibre, iron, vitamin D and Calcium. Wild mushrooms are my favourite; I adore their earthy flavour, unique texture, and the (almost) endless shapes and forms that they come in. I just find mushrooms in general fascinating, so you would probably see me in the woods taking pictures of them! I hope you will try this Wild Mushroom Soup recipe and enjoy it as much as we did. 😊
