Homemade Mushroom Soup!

Mushroom Soup is very popular in soup varieties at restaurants. There is also cream of mushroom which tops up with cream.

My kids love mushoom, later read and learnt that it has more iron in it and very good for health. I very rarely cook mushroom at home, so this time tried preparing Mushroom soup and fried rice.
