Mushrooms have to be my favorite food ever. I don’t really know how they come into being, but I’m so glad that they are here.
Cream of mushroom soup was always something that we bought. I never thought of making it myself until recently. The idea of cooking with milk is not something that I was brought up on. Besides that, the Israeli soy milk is a bit too sweet to use and is not really the best thing for cooking. I like to use almond milk that I make myself for this recipe. It gives the smoothness without the sweetness.
