Cream of Mushroom Soup

Inspired by Mario & Luigi! Now that Fall is upon us, I like to cook things that remind me of the comforts of home. Super Mario Bros. was a game, my brother and I would play for hours as kids. It was especially fun during the holidays when all of our cousins would come over and we would have mini-tournaments to see who could either get the furthers in the game or score the points. Mushrooms won’t necessarily make you grow as they do in the video game, but they are packed with nutrients that may help your body be more powerful and fight off bugs that are floating around during this colder season.
