Cream of Mushroom Soup
This Cream of Mushroom soup should not have the same name as the "stuff" in a can at the grocery store. It is rich, velvety, full of flavor, and perfectly heart-warming on a cold Winter's day. (It is -5 degrees as I write this.) A traditional meal at an estate the caliber of Downton Abbey...
