Nope..

This is not a Turkish recipe..

We dont use cream in this soup..

We use yoghurt!!

Tell that to the Turkish woman who made the recipe! 

 Ã love mushroom soup, but i never made it at home, i usually buy it or just eat it out.

Thanks for posting it, im sure will going to try it.

But just a question, it would be also ok to use white mushroom, yes ?

Ým not a mushroom big fan so i dont buy it much and not expert about the differeces between while and brown

But i buy brown canned to add to the meat but i also see fresh white mushroom in the super marker

So in this case would fresh ones be better than canned ?

I have used white button mushrooms, baby portabellas, brown mushrooms, canned mushrooms.....I think you can use whatever you like.   The canned mushrooms where a bit bland...I must say but it worked.

Thanks for this I love mushroom soup whether it is turkish or not, and I will be making it tomorrow as I have the day off and now feel like doing a little cooking , I am also going to bake a cake lol...How cool am I simple pleasures ehhh

If you want a REAL Turkish mushroom soup with a Turkish touch, please ask Insallah

 Do you have dried mushrooms in your area? They are excellent for making soup.  Each mushroom has it´s own unique flavor.  I like shiitake mushrooms because they are very flavorful and has great health properties also.  In fact, many mushrooms have healthful properties.

I have them several times a week. 

Here is something I do with them maybe you would like to try.  It´s a vegetarian dish.

Take the stem off the mushroom so as to make a nice bowl for stuffing.

Grind up sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, garbanzo beans, mushroom stems.

Add some bread crumbs and mix them all together.

You might want to add a little water or liquid to make the mixture more easily worked.

Add a little butter to the tops of each mushroom.

Stuff the mushroom caps, add a little water to the baking pan and cover.

Bake in the oven for about half an hour. Take cover off the last 10 minutes of baking.  You may want to then put them in the broiler to crisp the top.

alameda, do you use canned or dried garbanzo beans for this?

 Ok ..yes please..

Actually what does it involve, I may change my mind
