There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of soup, perhaps with a chunk of crusty bread and butter to dunk into the steaming hot liquid. It somehow feeds the soul!

This recipe uses American cups. They’re a handy piece of kitchen equipment, along with a kitchen food scale. Having both in your kitchen means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog as I use both cups and weighted measures. I always try to give both American and Metric measurements in my recipes.

Thank you for the recipe! I found it on Pinterest because I was looking up what to do with cauliflower rice, leftover turkey and fresh mushrooms. The recipe was delicious with minimal changes. I used butter and olive oil when sauteing the veggies and added about a tablespoon of flour to make a roux and I used Parmesan, Romano and mozzarella cheese because that is what I had on hand. I will definitely make it again!
