Mushrooms come in many varieties. Use your favorite mushroom with this dish or use a combination of mushrooms for an even more robustly flavorful soup. The nutritional value in mushrooms is what makes them special. Mushrooms provide several nutrients including riboflavin, niacin and selenium. They do not contain cholesterol, fat, or sodium. Mushrooms provide nutrients typical of meat and some grains.
Mushrooms can be fried, baked, grilled, boiled, served alone, served stuffed with meat or fish, as a soup here, as a topping over meat---especially steak. The list goes on and on. Mushrooms are both delicious and a diverse food, surely to delight the most discriminating palate.
