Warm and cozy is how I would describe this soup!
Plus, if you like mushrooms, I think this really highlights the flavor!
Such a deep, rich flavor can be developed so quickly with seasonal herbs and spices, and this makes for fantastic lunch or dinner!
Today, I used cremini mushrooms, but you can feel free to mix and match any mushrooms you like!
I also added black beans here to add a little bit more protein, fiber, and healthy carbohydrates to this soup.
In effect, this makes the soup a one-pot meal if you so choose. A dream for many home cooks like myself!
You can also serve this up with some brown rice, quiona, or other whole grain along with some roasted veg or a salad.
Enjoy!
