Cream of Mushroom Soup and Julia Child

I am finally availing myself of some classics, and it's wonderful to be learning some new things. I picked up a Julia Child cookbook at the library where I work, and just recently made her cream of mushroom soup--very basic and very good. I added poblanos in with the onions for sauteeing, added the optional sour cream, and then also added cayenne and lots of black pepper to finish. It was and is a bowl of delights, as soup should be. Do yourself a favor and go to your local library to check out "The Way to Cook" or any of her books.

I also think adding dried wild mushrooms would be good for an earthier flavor.
