Key Ingredients:
Fresh Mushrooms. Mushrooms are loaded with antioxidants and low in fat making them a great addition to any soup recipe. We always purchase whole mushrooms (instead of the pre-sliced). Always select mushrooms that are smooth and firm in texture.
Marsala Wine. Buy a quality bottle of Marsala wine to use in recipes. Do not use “cooking” wine that you can buy off of the supermarket shelf. A quality bottle of wine will last a long time and the flavor is far superior to grocery shelf wine. A decent bottle of wine should only run around $8.00 – $12.00 dollars.
