But, no matter what you call it, it’s a nice change of pace and it’s delicious. It’s great over a steak, on a burger or even on chicken. This is just perfect for summer, when tomatoes come rolling in.
The Spicy Honey loves his mushroom soup. Usually, he’s happy with the canned stuff, but this is so simple to make; it is really soooooo delicious. I thought I probably should share the recipe. Because, you need to make this.
