Did someone say, creamy potato mushroom soup?

Oh, this soup makes me giddy! It combines two of my favorite foods into a velvety smooth elixir of warmth and delicious nutrition. 

The beloved potato gives this soup body and texture. These little gems had a bad rep for a while, but they’re back on the table! Carbs are a vital part of your diet, but it’s important to choose the right ones.

High in resistant starch, potatoes are actually good for your gut health, and don’t affect your body the same way that simple carbs do. Potatoes are also high in vitamins B and C. Check out this article to find out the top 5 reasons to start eating potatoes again.

Mushrooms, the co-star of this soup, are not only delicious, they’re highly nutritious. They contain the powerful antioxidant, selenium –  that strengthens your immunity, and are also high in vitamin D. 

This recipe can easily be made vegan by substituting bone broth with vegetable or mushroom broth. Or if you want to add more protein, serve alongside this incredibly easy and delicious Flank Steak Bistro Salad.
