Test Kitchen tipsYou are in full control of how intensely flavored this soup can be. If you like it mellow or are going to be using it in another recipe, keep the mushrooms and veggies from getting too browned. If you love a deep, rich flavor, let the mushrooms and onions cook until they turn a dark golden brown.While button mushrooms will give you a lovely flavor, try switching it up by using shiitake, portobello or a blend of all three.
