Golden Mushroom Soup
If you love mushrooms this is the soup for you. A great appetizer or main course, this soup is warming and drives away winter blues. Sorry my photo doesn't have the pretty parsley to garnish, but I am out, and I promised my mom I'd post this recipe for her... :P

Notes
I have just started experimenting with goat milk yogurt and am pleasantly surprised by it's light flavor. With this recipe, the yogurt adds a little tartness but no goat flavor. It is really delicious.
