Mushroom & Beef Soup

Mushroom & Beef Soup

This soup was inspired by my son who is a lover of all things beef and all things mushrooms. When we go to the farmer’s market I give him money to buy whatever he wants and he always goes to the Mushroom Guy! Nothing better than preparing a meal that taste like it’s been simmering for hours!
