"Soup is good food."

Does anyone remember where this slogan comes from? I'm going to date myself a bit here, because I certainly do. -- Yes, as a child of the '80s I remember hearing it repeatedly on TV. Over and over and over again in the classic Campbell's Soup campaign. Unfortunately, I'm even old enough to remember the Campbell Soup campaign prior  to "Soup is Good Food" ... that one was "M'm M'm Good!"

Well, when it comes right down to it I have to agree with Cambell's that soup is indeed good food. -- Especially when it's homemade. A great bowl of homemade soup is so warm, comforting, and tasty. It's the kind of food that just makes you feel good all over.

And when it comes to this homemade Tomato-Mushroom Soup? I also have to agree with Campbell's earlier campaign slogan that it's "M'm M'm Good," too.

I love that this soup is loaded with fresh mushrooms and full of rich, delicious flavor. In addition to great flavor, the mushrooms bring wonderful heartiness to the soup -- which is something our family definitely craves in our soups.  

A little touch of Balsamic vinegar and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese further amp up the flavor and round out the soup quite nicely.

Loads of fresh mushrooms, rich tomato paste, onion, garlic, and a touch of Balsamic vinegar combine to deliver up fabulous flavor in every bite of this homemade soup.

Homemade Tomato-Mushroom Soup Ingredient Highlights:

Key ingredients that create homemade Tomato-Mushroom Soup's fabulous flavor include:

• Chicken broth -  Canned chicken broth serves as the convenient and flavorful base of this soup. If you prefer, you can use homemade chicken broth instead. Or, you can use canned or homemade vegetable broth if you'd like to make the soup vegetarian.

• Tomato paste - Brings the tomato element of the soup. Canned tomato paste is convenient to use to create the soup's tomato base, and brings deep, rich flavor.

• Fresh mushrooms - In addition to great flavor, mushrooms bring wonderful heartiness to this soup. You'll need 16 ounces, or about 4 cups, of sliced fresh mushrooms. We use regular white button mushrooms, though baby portobellos would also work well.

• Onion & garlic - Thinly sliced onion and minced fresh garlic build wonderful background flavor. Saute them in butter slowly over medium heat to bring out their best flavor.

• Balsamic vinegar - An unexpected ingredient, a little touch of Balsamic vinegar amps up and nicely rounds out the soup's flavor.

• Grated or shredded Parmesan cheese - A sprinkling on individual bowls is a nice touch as a garnish, while also adding another layer of flavor to every bite. Grate (or shred) your own Parmesan from a block, rather than buying pre-grated, for the best flavor result.

A pot of homemade Tomato-Mushroom Soup comes together pretty quickly and easily -- with just some simple chopping, stirring, and simmering.
