Summer Soups

Amazon has slowly been drifting into sectors other than books, and the fact that they now carry FungusAmongUs certified organic soups is a plus in my book. Since I have celiac disease, I favor any foods that don’t contain gluten, and these soups fit that bill, even in summer. These healthy, delicious, and reasonably-priced soup mixes are ready in 20 minutes and make 4 hearty servings of any one of the following:

• Organic Smoked Oyster Mushroom Chowder - A creamy, smoky chowder that’s rich, filled with mushrooms in natural seasonings to create a superb, unique soup. My favorite…
• Organic Spicy Shiitake & Vegetable Soup - The earthy flavor of the Shiitake mushroom is noticeable in this medley of fresh vegetables and tasty spices.
• Organic Moroccan Porcini & Lentil Soup - Exotic spices, one of the world’s most popular legumes, and delicious Porcini mushrooms combined to create a satisfying soup.

Michael and Lynn Monroe started FungusAmongUs Inc. in a small corner of their garage in Seattle, Washington in 1993. They were purchasing shiitake mushroom blocks from another farmer in Oregon and set out to find out what kind of market there was for gourmet mushrooms. The response was overwhelmingly positive (with a few skeptics thrown in for good measure) so they decided to take the plunge in 1994 and bought a small farm in Snohomish, Washington, which is about 30 miles north of Seattle. They are now the largest gourmet mushroom farm in the state and have expanded into oyster and lion’s mane production as well as providing wildcraft mushrooms to their customers.
