What's for Supper?

Cream of spinach and mushroom soup accompanied by Pumpkin Challah rolls--an early fall delight.



The soup was a no-recipe effort to use up some mushrooms. I sauteed chopped onion and celery in butter, added the mushrooms and sprinkled in a little flour to make a light roux. Added chicken broth and thawed frozen spinach. Cooked till it thickened a bit then stirred in some heavy cream.

The rolls were from a recipe I saw HERE. Mine didn't turn out as pretty and shiny as theirs, but they were extremely tasty. I'm looking forward to some for breakfast too.

Yummy. I'll be popping over soon! I love making soup. It's a very satisfying, creative endeavour.

I am amazed when people can just cook stuff without a recipe.

That reminds me of the frozen mushroom soup...need to thaw and enjoy it again soon. Mmm, add spinach too!

It does sound delightful. And I have some portabella mushrooms to use.
