Mushroom Soup
I recently made mushroom soup for the first time at home which was inspired by our recent Oregon travels. After deliberating over a number of recipes, Anthony Bourdain's Mushroom Soup from his Les Halles Cookbook won out.
Mushroom Mix
The only change I made to the recipe was that I used a mixed variety of mushrooms instead of all button mushrooms. It was delicious!
Here is the restaurant and trip that inspired me to make mushroom soup at home...

The Barlow Room
While exploring Oregon's Willamette Valley wine country, we ventured over one evening to the small town of Dayton. We headed to Dayton because of the Czarnecki family whose cooking revolves around wild mushrooms. They own the world-renowned Joel Palmer House and recently just opened The Barlow Room, a more casual restaurant in a really cool old brick building. We opted for The Barlow Room on this trip.
Joe's Wild Mushroom Soup
The famous mushroom soup, a Czarnecki family recipe for over 50 years, did not disappoint.
The Joel Palmer House
There's always a reason to come back to Oregon.
Next time, we're in town, we're dining at The Joel Palmer House. Their entire menu is based on creative local cuisine, where wild mushrooms are the star!
