I went for lunch at Biff’s Bistro last year and ordered the mushroom soup as my appetizer. I love mushroom. This soup is so good!  Biff’s and O&B are associated.  I love the mushroom soup at both restaurants.

I asked the Waiter if they have a recipe for the mushroom soup.  Surprisingly, the Waiter said that the Chef likes to share recipe. If you eat there and like a dish, you can actually ask them for the recipe and try it out yourself.

The Waiter went inside, printed the recipe on BIFF’s letterhead and put it in an envelope for me.

Therefore, I made the soup once at home. It is quite easy to make.  I’d like to share this with you.  Post me a comment if you use this recipe and like it.

  3. Using the grating attachment on a food processor, grate the button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and onion to a medium coarseness.
  4. In a large skillet saute grated mushrooms and onions and minced garlic until all moisture is removed.
