Cream of Mushroom Soup 奶油蘑菇汤

Mushroom soup is one of my favorite breakfast dishes. It doesn't take long time to cook,  most likely you would spend more time cutting the ingredients instead. That said, if you have a food processor to chop your ingredients, you can whip this soup up in a breeze. You could make your chicken stock ahead of time or simply use store-bought chicken stock in order to save time. 

Waking up in the aroma of simmering mushroom soup, enjoy every spoonful of creamy mushroom bits, lazying over a cup of coffee, how does it sounds like to start your day with?
