Nutritional Tips
I love mushrooms, so I used a lot, but if you prefer, you could use fewer mushrooms—or even add different types to the soup. I made it almost like a stew, as there were a lot of mushrooms when I was eating. This is a good way to eat more vegetables. However, a large portion may increase your fat intake; therefore, you might consider using light cream or milk instead of cream. If you have this as a side dish, it would be ideal to have some starchy carbohydrates such as bread, rice, pasta, or potatoes. In addition to this, try using less oil with these carbohydrates. Simply eating bread may be a better idea; opt for brown bread, which provides more fibre.
Chicken can also be used if you would like to avoid red meat and fat. I will write some more soup recipes another time.
