Fall foods, there’s mushroom in my heart for you. 🙂
This soup is dedicated to my sister’s love for sour cream. Yeah, sure it’s great with Mexican food, but trust me – even better in Italian inspired soup. Sour Cream adds the perfect level of tang and lightness to this dish to take it to the next level – a Hungarian cooking secret.
This silky smooth soup includes: 1) Light Cream, 2) Sour Cream, and 3) Parmesan Cheese, and 4) Lots of Love. While I try to be health conscious when I can help it, during the cooler weathers it’s nice to splurge and warm up the right way. To make myself feel better, I purposely used lighter creams so it’s less rich in terms of fat content, but trust me – it’s still rich in flavor. $$$
An ode to my favorite season: Happy Fall!
