Recipe Review

2nd October 2011

aj12754 from Montclair, NJ

I love mushrooms of all kinds and look forward to the fall cooking season and making various mushroom soups. This is a perfectly acceptable version which my husband liked better than I did. I prefer the version I recently made from the Les Halles cookbook although both versions are quite similar. I suspect that the difference was more a matter of the mushrooms I used (today's were newly purchased and I read somewhere that mushrooms that have been hanging around the fridge a while have more flavor) than a real difference in the recipes).

Note: I did end up using 2 onions rather than the combination of onions and leeks called for in the recipe because I forgot to pick up leeks at the store today.

Both this soup and the Les Halles version pair really well with a red wine.
