Cream of Mushroom Soup

Salah satu soup yang sering ada di menu makanan kalau kita berkunjung resto dan cafe. Cara membuatnya mudah sekali, dengan satu resep saja dapat disantap oleh banyak orang dan tentu dengan harga yang sangat terjangkau. Sungguh nikmat jika disantap dengan roti kegemaran, apalagi dengan crouton – yum yum yum !

Kalau masih ada sisa soup, biasanya jadi mengental – dapat dijadikan sauce pasta. Rebus pasta kegemaran keluarga seperti biasa, seperti jenis penne, fusilli, dll. Lalu cemplungkan potongan ayam rebus – siram dengan sisa soup yang sudah dihangatkan dan mengental tadi. Jadilah satu macam masakan untuk makan siang/makan malam – acara masak-masak di dapur dapat dipersingkat ;).

Berikut resep yang Syl ambil dari Video Jug – website yang sangat membantu, karena ada video step by step nya.
