liquid forest floor that somehow ended up classier than most appetizers
means A creamy or brothy soup made from mushrooms, typically simmered with onions, stock, and cream into a savory, earthy puree.
from A literal pairing of two old words. "Mushroom" came into English in the 15th century from Old French "mousseron," possibly tied to "mousse" (moss), evoking the damp ground these fungi spring from. "Soup" traces to Old French "soupe" and a Germanic root meaning to soak or sup, originally a piece of bread steeped in broth. Cream-of-mushroom soup as we know it is much younger, a product of modern canning and French-influenced cookery, where the humble forest fungus got dressed up in cream.
