To my surprise, during one of my friend Heathy’s visits I learned that she’d never been ‘the soup type’. At least, she certainly landed among the right folks to give her a taste of how delicious raw soups can be. It looks like our passion for raw soups rubbed off on her some. Together, we came up with this lovely mushroom soup. A perfect use for the left over porcini soak water from preparing Cherie Soria’s amazing Crab Cakes.
