Mushroom cappuccino
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. Even children won't refuse this creamy mushroom soup—they'll happily have seconds if you offer. Serve the soup with croutons, toast, or garlic bread. Prepare the soup just before serving; do not make it in advance, as it may separate.

Season with salt and simmer for about 10–12 minutes, until all the liquid has evaporated. Sauté the mushrooms for about 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Then season with pepper, pour in the cream, and heat until just boiling. Set aside a small portion of the mushrooms on a plate to use for garnishing the dish.
