Notes

  1. You can garnish with herbs at the end. To elevate the taste. I preferred to have the mushroom essence in the soup ( which is awesome :D ) so didn't add any here. 
  2. The soup tastes good even without the cream, since the milk thickens in the essence of the mushroom, so you can very much skip them if you are diet conscious.
