Cream of Mushroom Soup

I usually don’t post many things that aren’t made with sugar. There are a few exceptions every now and then though because some things are so delicious that I have to share them with you, regardless of whether they’re cake or not.

Cream of mushroom soup with leeks and cremini mushrooms, topped with baby onion sprouts. The MOST AMAZING mushroom soup you will ever have, guaranteed. Click for the recipe.

The funny thing is that this soup is in fact made with a lot of butter. It has flour too. Mushrooms. White wine. Leeks. It’s perfect on a cold winter day or really any Canadian day. I added baby onion sprouts on top to add a little bit of a crunch, but they’re entirely optional. The soup is great with or without them.

Cremini Mushroom and Spinach Risotto

The warm, salty air blew across his ashen fur and across the meadow; it blew through the spiny fingers of the red pine trees that were scattered sparingly across the field. The wind caused the waves to crash onto the rocky shore. Buckley watched as he stood by Gaffer’s neglected fishing shed.

Buckley’s dark, black hooves stood in sharp contrast to his fluffy coat as he chomped on one of the few remaining patches of grass. Next to the buck, in the chartreuse grass, stood a single dandelion that waved in the wind. Buckley stared at it with awe; he was perplexed. He had never seen such a beautiful flower before. Its emerald stem was blessed with the task of supporting the petals. Buckley wished that he, like the stem, had the chance to support something so wonderful. Its golden petals looked magical in the summer sun.
