Tomato and mushroom soup

I remember this soup. The kind of soup that has a real backstory to it. I remembered back at the recession in 2009 when the market was crashing, it was hard for anyone to afford good food. My family made this kind of soup because it’s fast, easy and very versatile. You can practically add…

Yogurt soju cocktail with lime and mint
