Mushroom Soup – Serves 4
You can find this soup in Carnival Cruises Prime Steakhouse specialty restaurant. They serve it in a smaller cup, hence the name cappucino, but we serve it in large bowls for dinner with crusty bread and an arugla salad.
I want to note that when we prepared this soup we used a mix of various mushrooms including button, sh*take, baby portobello, oyster, and criminie. I also used a little white wine with the onions initially, then added the garlic and mushrooms with the butter. I did both. I have also swapped to beef broth and cooked the onions with a splash of red wine and found it had more depth of flavor. There are also variations online whether to add the thyme and parsley during the cooking process or at the end. I added some thyme while the mushrooms were cooking, and then added finely chopped thyme & parsley to serve the soup with extra ground pepper per bowl, along with a little sauted mushrooms and lastly croutons for texture.
