Remember those days of campbell mushroom soup? Uh-huh, I know what you’re thinking – they don’t bring back great memories. I love mushroom soup, but somehow the canned ones just don’t always make the mark.
That’s why I’m so incredibly excited to share this recipe with you! As I was sifting through the recipes that my mum sent me (she has so far sent me more than I could ever wish for), I found this favourite (I don’t suppose its as good as Soup Spoon’s but it’ll certainly beat canned soup hands down!)
