KITSKITCHEN RECIPE – CRIMINI MUSHROOM & CRACKED PEPPER SOUP

Here at Spud, we’re big proponents of helping small businesses grow and flourish. Nothing makes us happier than finding an exciting new company with a mouth-watering product – like kitskitchen, for example. kitskitchen evolved out of founder Joni’s love of creating healthy and delicious soups, and they’ve been growing steadily ever since. Over the years they’ve have developed many soup recipes that they’ve loved, however, due to manufacturing difficulties were unable to continue making. Since the soups themselves are amazing, we thought we’d take this opportunity to share a recipe – this one is crimini mushroom and cracked pepper soup:
