Cream of mushroom soup

Rich, creamy mushroom soup is hard for one to avoid .It is so delicious that every time we see mushroom in the store I get an order from my girl to make it.

We had been to Universal Studios and on our way back we decided to dine at Wolfgang Puck Cafe.There wasn't much of a rush as it was week day and we were meeting our friends after years so we called the place our own.As we ordered food and as we waited we were served a small bowl of cream of mushroom soup,the best of its kind as chef's special at no additional charge.hmm..lil skeptical naaa..but It was awesome I must admit,it was rich and creamy.

Though I have had mushroom soup earlier this one caught my attention so I decided to give it a try with my own version trying to recreate the same magic.
