Wild Mushroom Soup
Lots of mushrooms grow in Mexico’s hills during the rainy summers. Some sponsored children take long walks with their families to hunt for mushrooms for this soup. Your family can go on a mushroom hunt too — at the grocery store.
Adult help needed.
In a large cooking pot, warm the oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until slightly golden. Add the garlic and peppers and cook 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes and let soften. Add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, 8-10 minutes.
Pour in the broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cilantro and stir well. Reduce heat to low and simmer at least 15 minutes. Remove the cilantro sprigs, and season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.

Notes
Wild mushrooms are a popular food in many countries where Compassion works. Picking and eating them can be dangerous because many are poisonous, so eat only mushrooms sold in your grocery store.
