Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Wonder what they didn't like? Sounds good to me, except i would have to substitute out the shiitake shrooms for some other kind. Something about them i just don't like, which i have found odd since i generally love all other mushrooms. But there are so many different kinds out there to try, so finding one to use in place of it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for sharing this recipe. ~ pt ~ It is for us to know what dreams we share, what needs we feed, what imperatives we create and command.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 > Wonder what they didn't like? My two oldest kids ate the broth but none of the veggies. My youngest three tasted once and said they didn't like it (I think it was because of all the stuff in the soup) Hubby said I should have made it a puree soup and they probably would have eaten it. He may be right but my thinking is that I want them to learn to like it and how will they know if they can't even tell what they are eating. > Sounds good to me, except i would have to > substitute out the shiitake shrooms for some > other kind.

But, I had a big Costco size container to use up. I think the soup would be great with regular white mushrooms! Shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Aw, that's too bad they didn't like it. It may take some time to get them involved in enjoying all the different tastes and textures. i know as a child i hated onions, peppers, and most of all spinach. Now i can't seem to get enough of them! *lol* i think you are right about the textural thing with shiitake mushrooms. i guess it is mostly the rubberyishness [new word *lol*] of them that does not appeal. ~ pt ~ No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel in any member - No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds - November! ~ Thomas Hood, No! ~~~*~~~*~~~> , " Shelly " <anislandgirl@c...> wrote: > My two oldest kids ate the broth but none of the veggies.
