It feels like fall/winter today. The temperature is in 40’s, which is not bad at all but the cloudy sky is making it feel a lot colder. On this gloomy day, I felt like having a light, hot soup and some homemade pizza, for lunch. I had actually planned on making dumpling soup today but was in no mood for it. I was in a mood for a light soup with lots of veggies in it. The remaining soups that I had jotted down for the marathon are heavy soups. I went to William Sonoma recipe center in search of a light soup and found Bok Choy and Shiitake Soup. I had some Portobello mushrooms in the fridge and I picked up a bunch of Bok Choy and made this soup for lunch. I certainly liked the flavors of the veggies in the soup and I also think homemade stock was crucial to this flavorful soup! If you liked Lentils Vegetable Soup, you will like this soup too.

Tell me about the weather. I am so ready for real spring and even summer. Soup looks good. Blogging is no fun with such lighting. I can’t even take pictures with this light.
