Sautee Veggies: In a large saucepan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add fresh mushrooms, onion, and green pepper. Sautee for 2-3 minutes or until tender.

Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir everything together well.

Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the soup simmer gently for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure all flavors meld together.

Finish and Serve: Just before serving, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. This adds a creamy, cheesy richness to the soup. 🧀

Garnish and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. 🍲🧀 Serve hot, perhaps with some crusty garlic bread for a complete meal!
Tips:
- For a spicier kick, you can add some crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapenos.
