Great recipe and soup. It was hearty enough to be tonight's dinner with some crackers and almost too easy to make. The vote was that both DH and I would enjoy this again soon. I'll need to get more mushrooms I used all I had. I just used cermini's but I'll buy a mix for next time. It's a keeper recipe for me. :D

I loved this! I halved the recipe, and used a mix of porcini, oyster, portobello, and button mushrooms. My porcini's were dried, so I used the broth from their soaking as part of my broth. I really enjoyed the beans in this....added just a little something that I really appreciated. Although I halved the recipe, I did not decrease the garlic. I used sherry, because that is what I had at home. Thanks so much for sharing your yummy recipe.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
