I outdid myself! RECIPE

I made mushroom soup again, and taking a cue from that yummy creamy spicy carrot soup I made, I decided to alter my previous recipe for mushroom soup...and OH MY GOD! It was soooooooooooooo delish, I shared the 'recipe' ('cause you should know that my 'recipes' are usually 'experiments' that I am documenting here) with my friend in an e-mail and as a lazy blogger, I am copying and pasting it here for you to enjoy too!


JeNetty's FREAKING AWESOME MUSHROOM SOUP: (The original title for this was a little more profane, but I thought I'd tone it down for public consumption! But seriously, that's how good this soup is!)

A bunch of organic mushrooms (I used a whole container of organic button mushrooms plus two GIGANTIC portabellos (like the caps were bigger than my hand!) - chop up the portabellos, but just leave the others whole
About 1.5 cups of low sodium organic vegetable broth in a tetra pack
Plop everything in a pot and bring the sucker to a boil...then cover and let simmer until the mushrooms are tender but not smooshy (I dunno, about 10 minutes)
Let cool for a bit while you get out your food processor....
Plop 'em in the food processor and add about 1/3 of a can (yes I said can, this doesn't seem to be available in Canada in anything BUT a can! I was spoiled in Bermy) of unsweetened coconut milk...process until the mushrooms are pulverized and no longer recognizable (LEAVE THE VENT THING OPEN BECAUSE THE SOUP IS HOT AND YOU DON"T WANT AN EXPLOSION OF MUSHROOM SOUP IN YOUR KITCHEN!!!)....add about 1-2 cups of Almond milk (depending on how soupy you like your soups)
add salt and pepper to taste (pepper to taste = ALOT for me!) then process again...quick easy and one of those "HOLY CRAP I CAN"T BELIEVE I MADE THIS MYSELF" foods that took, seriously, like 15 minutes to make! (There will be tons!!! I had a cup for dinner, a bunch for lunch, and I have TONS left over - but it freezes really well! AND IS FREAKING YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I will post more later (as I have more yummy and easy recipes for ya with pics) but now I am off to Whole Food Market to see what they're all about.
I also am going to do some research for you because I saw a blip in a magazine that Canadian milk contains no hormones or antibiotics, and I want to find out if that is true so I can maybe save some money on organic milk if I have to....
