Tomato Basil Soup 70 Chicken and Mushrooms 79
Nichole tried out these two recipes. How did this game go down, Nichole?
Tomato Basil Soup:
All the ingredients for this recipe can be found right now in most cupboards. I only had to go buy half and half and celery. It was fairly easy to make, minus the roux (it’s not hard, but not easy). My husband and I both liked the flavor, but neither of us thinks this is a go-to dish. Flavor was good, but nothing special. If I make it again, I might try all fresh herbs instead of dried.
Chicken and Mushrooms:
Had to go to the store for most of these ingredients. I’m not a big fan of mushrooms, so it was OK for me-but my husband really liked it! He even finished all the leftovers. I think this would be an easy dish to make for company. And I love that it doesn’t use cream of whatever soup, but still has the richness.
This is a total shocker for me. I thought for sure the soup would win, hands down. Just goes to show that my taste buds aren’t the end all be all!
