Mari's Miso Mushrooms

Well soupies, the soup season is almost done. This week, which was the second to the last soup night, was Maricela’s turn to host soup night. She did a wonderful job, providing an Asian influenced menu. Her soup was one hundred percent original. I hope that by next soup season we are all doing original recipes. Bravo Mari.
