For many special occasions our family goes out for Hibachi, like I know so many yours do too. I will be the first to ask to have Hibachi, not because I want to enjoy the show, which is cool { don’t get me wrong}, but I really love the food.
Next to the Yum Yum sauce {a recipe I am still perfecting at home}, the mushroom soup is normally one of the highlights of the meal for me. I know that sounds odd, but I love mushrooms, and getting a bonus free soup with your meal makes it taste all the better.
I came up with this recipe actually while I was doing the 3 Day Refresh. On the program, you are allowed to have vegetable broth to as a snack between afternoon meals. I had never had vegetable broth before, but found through the program that it has only 15 calories per cup and packs awesome flavor. To help amp up the broth while doing the program, I added a few sliced mushrooms {sort of a cheat move}.
On the second day, The Hubby asked me what I was eating, and if he could have some. He loved it. Of all the things I make for him, I can’t believe this super basic, easy to make soup is what he asks for the most! I whip up this soup pretty frequently during the week to go along with meals, because it is not only easy, but tasty.
The soup is nothing fancy, but it is a great start to any meal. I do believe they say that if you start a meal with a low calorie soup, you are less likely to over eat on the main dish. Something to think about 😉
