If your only experience with mushroom soup comes from a can, you've yet to truly experience the simply glory of homemade mushroom soup.

Mushroom soup is such a classic and so easy, to boot!

Supermarket mushrooms will do but I'm lucky to have access to wild mushrooms from St. Louis' 'mushroom lady', Nicola Macpherson whose company, Ozark Mushrooms, grows shiitake and oyster mushrooms nearby on a family farm. Meet Nicola and see how easy it is to make mushroom soup, here in this week's Kitchen Parade column.
