About
Creamy soups don't have to be fattening if you just replace a few ingredients with lighter alternatives. Replace butter with heart healthy olive oil. Replace the heavy cream with fat free half and half. You get the idea.
Beef broth really enhanced the meaty flavor of the mushrooms, and fresh thyme added a woodsy flavor to the soup.
