Steak and mushroom soup has bold flavours and lends itself well to foraging your favourite fungi. Wild mushrooms are available throughout most of Alberta during the spring, summer, and fall. Available species change during the season. When you find productive areas, you can return annually to check on the crop. If you do not forage mushrooms, you can use white, cremini, oyster, or other mushrooms available at a local grocer. Using a variety of mushrooms changes the flavour and texture of the soup.
