Mushroom Soup

Weather has not been pleasant in the UK since I arrived. Most of the time it is cold & freezing. I crave hot food more than ever, especially compared to when I was in Malaysia. This is definitely a great change in my aspect, from 33 Celsius to 3, from partying, salsa to staying in for cooking..that's me, a Gemini who can cope with most things, NICE!!

I love mushrooms. Not many fresh mushrooms are available in Malaysia. You can find button mushrooms in the can or dried Chinese mushrooms. There are many choices of mushrooms available in the market of UK and fresh! And you can use mushrooms in almost any type of cuisine.

I'll be posting most of the food that I have prepared at home since I arrived.

Mushroom Soup

closed button mushrooms
chestnut mushrooms
potatoes
onions
milk
butter or olive oil

1. slice all mushrooms and onions, peel potatoes and boil for 30 mins and set aside.

2. heat butter in a coking pan/ wok and put in all sliced onions & mushrooms. Cook till all ingredients soft.
3. add boiled potatoes together and blend with food blender. No worry of adding water as after cooking the mushrooms & onion it does relish water in the cooking.

4. finally recook all ingredients, adding some milk or cream. I like it light with no salt added.

5.Serve with some garlic bread & dough balls.

It always ends up with empty bowl!!

Mushrooms soup is simple and easy to cook and I always love to make extra and keep in the fridge. For lunch box or a light lunch at home all you need to do is to reheat in the microwave on the next day.
