Foodie fans today we have two good ones....  Homemade Soup Day & National Stuffed Mushroom Day.  I love soup with a passion - I have been known to eat a hot bowl of soup when it's a 100 degrees outside.  My favorite soup to make from scratch is tomato soup.  I buy those italian plumb tomatoes (in the can) to use  - they're picked at the height of freshness so they bring a good flavor to the mix.  If you have fresh ones growing on the vine I'd use those first thought...  Anyway - chicken stock some fresh basil and maybe a spot of butter and cream to finish it off...  I'm going to do a video tonight and will post it so you can see...  As for stuffed mushrooms - YUMMERS!  My favorite filling for stuffed mushrooms is a crab mixture.  I made some the other day with left over fajita makings - just chopped up the meat and veg really small and stuck it in the caps - backed them off and they turned out really good!
