Cream of Mushroom Soup


   There was a time when i used to drink only mushroom soup and thought these can be got only in restaurants,and thats when shops started selling Packaged Soup Mix,  i used to buy it every time possible , until we got to drink it from one of my dad's friends home, it was rich thick and creamy, and from then on Amma used to make this for us. Now our sweet little darling just loved this soup and kept on asking me for   "Amma ..... mushshooom" :)
           Now you might find a slow down in my little space in here and this is going to continue for the next 2 months, im visiting Home Sweet Home ( Kerala, India )!!! Im sure to enjoy some of my mom's very good food for sure :) , will try to upload some pictures
