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

 Well, if I were more energetic, I would cook them myself, but I´m lazy and use canned ones instead.

BTW I use button mushrooms for this....any mushroom with a nice cap would work.  Small portobellos work great.

Remind me to tell you my cooking garbanzo bean story some time.............they need a LOT of water and time to cook. ...hint...they smell very bad when they burn...and make a LOT of smoke...

 insallah, don´t take cooking advice from a man who once posted a recipe for toasted bread!!

 OHHHH my god that is shameful   Toasted bread hahahahahahaha

It was ´Toasted Bread a la Türk  though!  

 Made it not long ago for lunch, I loved it and so did my guests ..yum yum. Even had some home made bread with it , what the little house wife I have been today   It won´t last lol

It looks lovely, but (to be honest) how is it different to any other mushroom soup?   What makes it "Turkish"?

The ingredients look pretty much standard to me...

It isn´t turkish really , I think a mushroom soup is pretty much standard , done the same way all over. But it came from a turkish book...

Perhaps there´s something ´magic´ about their mushrooms. 

That will teach me to post a recipe!  You people will argue over anything!  Where is tami to tell me that mushrooms are the food of the imperialists? 

You should have invited me Insallah and I would cook a REAL Turkish mushroom soup with real Turkish musrooms with canned (and slapped) beans..  

 Geee!  Could you make some REAL Turkish toasted bread with that H? 

 Well if I remember correctly handsom I did invite you and ....well...umm...you......... Actually I can´t even go through it again it´s just too painful for me

And keep those beans (slapped or not slapped ) well away from me please  I am not a fan of beans

Hehehehe Of course I can but what about you? eh?

You are soo jealous and picking on me because I committed the crime of posting my delicious recipes into ´Turkish Food Recipes´ section and nothing seems to upset you more..

If you do ,you should take a look at yourself  sweetie..

You will see how jealous you look..

 I don´t need a recipe to toast bread!  I am not jealous!  You are so pompus with your fake posh English...you know I only speak trashy bed Amerikan!  Stop putting me down, will you?  I could just care less about your stupid toast recipe anyway!  Stop ruining my mushroom thread!!

Yeah yeah

Sweetie, your ego seems so big that you are unable to comprehend anyone might be better than you in that section of forum and and someone might be better than you making tosts, unless they are part of a  some anti-Lis group?

Is it your bed amerikan blood  which makes you see conspiracy theories rather than obvious truths..

Stop being  jealous about my new posh accent sweetie and check your english grammer book..

Have you an grammar book? 

 Nobody wants your toast or your soup....that´s the bottom line!  Everyone wants MY mushroom soup and you can´t stand it.  You can go on and spread your propaganda about how your mushroom soup is better than my mushroom soup, but the truth is....your mushroom soup gives people diarrhea.....and you can stuff that in your grammar book!! 

Well Insallah, I checked my pms again.

The lunch you have invited me is next week..  

Please make your decision about if you want a REAL TURKISH mushroom soup or not? 

 Wow, how to rush a girl handsom...Ok Ok I have decided I am willing to take a walk on the wild side of life and give the REAL TURKISH soup a try. Hope I don´t live to regret it

Insallah

You will definitely NOT..

 Wow  well there is no response I can possibly give to that, so I will keep it to a simple but well advised (referring to the writing  TAKE  CARE ....
