The addition of sautéed mushrooms and carrots give the soup an earthy flavor that pairs well with the creaminess of the buttermilk. The soup is ideal as a meal on its own, or as a starter to a larger meal. It is easy to make, and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
