Thick and creamy mushroom soup with a sprinkling of chopped chives to warm you up at lunch times.
I found this recipe in an old Good To Know magazine, It's a Gregg Wallace recipe, who actually now, is on the Weight Watchers Program and will be on the cover of the UK's Weightwatchers Magazine.
I have actually been looking for a nice mushroom soup recipe for a while now and I felt that this was exactly what I wanted.
Creamy yet with a nice kick to it, due to the chives. As always, I love soup for my lunch, It's so handy and fills you up so much more than just having a sandwich on it's own.
This is great because it also freezes well. Perfect for midweek lunches on the go.
