Looking for a new dish to try during your Staycation? If you love mushrooms or are in the mood for some hearty soup, we have the perfect recipe for you. This mushroom soup is a guest favorite at our onboard fine dining restaurant, Le Bistro, especially when cruising the cooler climates of Northern Europe and Iceland. Settle in with a bowl of our special soup, served with a side of daydreams of Norway’s dramatic fjords, Iceland’s famed blue lagoon and the colorful dome-topped buildings of St. Petersburg.
