Easy Keto Cream of Mushroom Soup
I like mushrooms. I made soup.Not exactly sure what happened, but somehow I ended up with 1.5 lbs of white mushrooms. My best guess is that over the several trips to the store that preceded the Thanksgiving holiday, I saw some mushrooms and thought it would be a good idea to grab some. So, I grabbed some, repeatedly, at least 4 times.And that's how I ended up making my very first batch ever of cream of mushroom soup.
Ingredients
