Creamy Mushroom & Pearl Couscous Soup

I have made this multiple times now. I rarely make soups so I have nothing to compare it to, but it is REALLY good in my opinion. They don’t sell half here so I mixed 2% milk and 35% heavy cream. It is also hard to find pearl couscous, but orzo works well too! Though it might have a little less earthy flavour. I also added in cooked pork pieces which really helped the soup I think. Substituted Worcestershire sauce with soy. I added my own seasonings as well. 30 minutes is just plain false information though. Usually takes 1-2 hours for me from start to finish.

It was okay. It's just a Hungarian mushroom soup with couscous. Frankly, I have a better HMS recipe.

Absolutely delicious! And so easy to make.

The soup becomes thicker over time - add the couscous about 20-30 mins before serving to prevent this. Added dried mushrooms for more flavour, though may not be needed Careful with the Worcester sauce - eyeballing it/much more makes the soup a bit sweet. Ditto with thyme - can afford to skip or keep it low.

I substituted dried tarragon for dried dill and it was delicious!

Add mushroom powder. And add onion.
