Watercress and Soy Milk Soup with Button Mushroom

Basically this recipe is almost the same as the previous recipe on watercress and soy milk soup with tofu added. For this, white button mushroom is used. As the mushroom requires slightly longer time to cook, it is been boiled in water or stock prior to adding soy milk. The unsweetened soy milk used is those from the supermarket which is much thicker than those from the wet market, therefore when water or stock is added to this soup, it will not be too diluted and tasteless.
