Mushroom magic.................

 
Never have I seen mushrooms growing here.  Our field is littered with mushrooms, white bulbs bursting out of the ground in fairy-circles appearing daily, very exciting. 
Well we think they're mushrooms but I haven't fed them to the guests, not yet but John and I are enjoying daily feeds and giving them away.
Soup recipe below, very easy and quick and the field mushrooms are so much tastier. Mushroom risotto today! 

Easy Mushroom Soup 
Melt some butter in a saucepan, slowly soften half a chopped onion, then add 2 handfuls of roughly chopped mushrooms.  Add half and half, milk and chicken stock to cover, you'll have to guess!
Bring to boil and simmer with lid on the 15- 20 minutes, season.
Cool, then liquidise.  For a nice nutty flavour add some chopped walnuts.
