Beef Balls in Creamy Mushroom Soup

Delicious. This is how my son described this dish.

Beef bowls in creamy mushroom soup is simply a fascinating dish, it is a creamy chowder soup, with beef balls, mushroom and young corn plus cheese. I recommend this dish, especially on rainy seasons, because it is hot, thick and yummy, perfect for cold nights.

A perfect bite of this consist of a beef ball, some straw mushrooms and young corn and a lot of chowder on my soup spoon, so satisfying.

The recipe idea came from carbonara, one of my son's favorite pasta dish. I created a soup inspired by the carbonara sauce and the result: a perfect soup for a happy son.

Try it.
