Mushroom Soup

I love mushroom soup but I have never taken the trouble of making it from scratch.When the need arises to indulge in a delicious soup,I immediately go for the  ready mix packet that I keep stored in my shelf  for quick a  preparation.However I add a little bit of extra ingredients into it  to make it  scrumptious and have a home made effect.

I open a can  of mushrooms and  drain off  the liquid in it.Then heat  some butter in  pan and saute  sliced onions and garlic and ginger.Once it is cooked,a  little  pepper is added and kept aside till I prepare the broth.In another pan I stir the ready mix packet with water, the amount of water to be used is given in the packet instructions.When it is boiling,I throw the cooked mushroom mixture into it.Then I keep stirring  constantly and lastly  season it with salt.That’s my version of home made mushroom soup with the help of the ready mix packet.

The other day when we went to a restaurant for dinner I ordered mushroom soup.It was outrageously delicious.

Eating Out

My children  are  still  on holiday and last evening my daughter was complaining she was bored  being at home.I guess she found my cooking a bit boring too.So we decided to chill out and have an early dinner.Eating out once in a way is fine but we usually get stuck when ordering something for our vegetarian daughter.Surprisingly there was a vegetable item she liked at the restaurant we had gone to.

The rest decided to taste something crispy,spicy  and  with some tangy flavours
