Creamy Mushroom Soup - Chunky Style
Mushroom Soup is a classic soup I often buy in a can for our family however after a great sale on mushrooms, I found myself with a 10 pound box of mushrooms and no where to hide. This is how I made a chunky flavourful soup, which is freezer friendly.

Let’s Blend Together.
I took 1 2/3 cup of soup and placed it into a glass measure.
Using an Immersion blender, I mixed this small portion of soup together.
You may wish to blend all your soup but we like ours chunky so I only did a small portion.
Pour the blended soup into the large pot.

Time for Lunch.
This is a great soup for any meal.
It will keep in the fridge up to five days.
Instead of always reheating the large pot of soup, remove the portion you need and heat that up. This will prevent bacretia from growing.
You can freeze this soup. I use large ice cube trays. You can also use zip lock bags.
Defrost soup in the fridge over night.
Enjoy this chunky soup!
