Guys.

Say hello to the only soup recipe you will need this fall + winter.

I mean, I’m still going to share like 20,000 more soup recipes from now until then because I LOVE SOUP 365 days out of the year. But still. This mushroom chowder is where it’s at.

It’s so smooth, so velvety, and just so darn good. The thyme, the potatoes, all the fun mushrooms. It’s just perfect.

Now, I used some different types of mushrooms like maitake, oyster and king trumpet, but you can use any kind your heart desires.

IT IS ALL GOOD. Promise.
