Soup Diary 100319

On our last night in California last week, we had dinner at a Polish restaurant in Santa Monica. Beets are about my least favorite food (aside from seafood), so I wasn't tempted by the borscht, and went instead for a cup of the cream of mushroom barley soup to open my meal. It was a nice, flavorful soup having the taste of beef as much as mushroom, with plenty of barley. I followed that up with some beef stroganoff which was pretty good too-- in fact, having much the same flavor as the soup. Overall a good solid meal from beginning to end, to which the soup was a definite plus.
