What a delicious idea for a challenge! Thank you @twinislandflames for the inspiration behind this! Here is my warm hearty entry to #soupchallenge 1 -
Brown the meat, onion, and garlic all together - add in spices.
When the meat is almost completely cooked, add in the mushrooms. As the mushrooms are cooking, chop up the red potatoes (leaving the skin on is completely up to you). Add in the chopped potatoes, and also the 8 cups of water.
Bring the soup to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Spoon into a bowl, adding basil, chives or any other garnish you would like. If you would like a creamier soup, add in a splash of heavy whipping cream!
Most importantly - Enjoy your time and savor the goodness as it nourishes you!
