Here weather is getting cold, but only slightly chilly only during morning and night times. Still it is October here in Texas, and not as cold as it would normally be. When weather becomes cold I like to have a bowl of warm soup. I made this browned butter mushroom soup on one of these cold mornings. I had made cream of mushroom soup earlier and that is my on the go recipe when comes to mushroom soup.

About the browned butter mushroom soup, I found it very simple and easy to put together. I used vegetable broth, you can use your own favorite one. I didn’t have fresh thyme in hand for garnish, I used scallions which is my favorite otherwise I followed the recipe and it turned out delicious.
