Hungarian Mushroom Soup

I'm really excited for tonight because I get to go to the season opener game for the Blazers!!!  I just love watching basketball, I appreciate how fast of a game it is and all the excitement with the loud announcers, music, and fans.  In other news Halloween is almost here and I can't wait, my boyfriend and I are going to a movie character themed party and we are dressing up as Jessica and Roger Rabbit.  Speaking of this weekend it sure is going to be a busy one, Saturday morning we are getting up and driving to Eugene, OR for the Ducks vs. Stanford game which will be a major game (I sure hope we win).  Now let's talk food, my friend Rebecca came over last night and we actually made something together that didn't involve pimento cheese, instead it involved lots of mushrooms which we both love.  We adapted this Moosewood recipe and ate the soup while watching Halloween II (one of my favorites).  Enjoy!
