About one year ago, I made my first road trip across the country – Lexington, Kansas City, Cheyenne, Salt Lake City, Reno, and finally Oakland. I dropped off my husband to start his new job and I went back to Kentucky to wrap things up before making the move final.

So while I haven’t been in California a full year, he has. This month marks when things really began to change. I’ve probably mentioned before that we love change. This past year of change has been rewarding, challenging, and exciting.

And of all the things I could have made to mark this anniversary, I picked soup?

Well, we just got back from a very low key, and enjoyable trip to Las Vegas over Labor Day weekend. We could really use a break from heavy food. It is also now September and my favorite season of the year (regardless of where I live) is almost here – fall!

To justify things more, I love that I can now get mushrooms at the Farmers Market! I like all kinds of mushrooms, but I always default to the white button. I find that I can do so much with them – stuff them, put them in soups, add them to tacos. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking they don’t have benefits either. As I put in my book, even white buttons have plenty of immune boosting power.

I bought a bag that fortunately decided to hang on until I got back from traveling. I had to make the decision to use them now or never. When I spotted the half bottle of red wine on the counter the meal began to come together.

So grab the slow cooker! It may not be crisp and cool yet, but fall is coming! Feel free to start off the celebrations with this rich and hearty soup.

    I love making soup, but it’s an even bigger bonus if I can make it in a crock pot or slow cooker. As a mushroom fan, this sounds amazing!

    Not yet cold here though, this chicken wine soup looks inviting already.
