this soup was BEAUTIFUL. It was better than I could have imagined. I only made 2 changes, taking the advice of other comments. I afded a punch of cayenne and 3 bay leaves. I also put in double the mushrooms. In the future i may go to the Saturday market and get some different mushroom varieties and put them in. I served with some sourdough bread and lemon tea, which complimented the soup perfectly.
