Excellent easy and very tasty soup. I had some baby portobellos that I needed to use up quickly. DH wasn't feeling well, so I asked him if he would eat some Cream of Mushroom soup if I made it. I adjusted the recipe slightly, and probably due to personal preference. I thought 2 qts. stock sounded like a lot for 8 oz. mushrooms, so I used 1 1/2 qts. and reserved the rest in case the soup was too thick. I had the opposite problem. Even with 1 1/2 qts. stock, it was too thin for my taste, so I added 2 tbs. flour to the milk before I stirred it in. Turned out perfect, and has a delicious mushroom flavor, and so fast and easy! I might never use canned soup again.

what a pleasing soup this is, and ridiculously easy to make for the taste that it packs. i've been dogged by sinus congestion all day, in no mood to cook - DH was going to get off work to bring me soup but then i found this recipe, staggered into the kitchen and it was a snap to make. i found the amount of butter can easily be reduced here, and i also erred on the conservative side with the flour. i chose veg broth in this, used half cream and half milk and added some sprigs of fresh parsley. we had it with some croutons and freshly ground black pepper. i think this recipe can be very adaptable if you want to cut some calories out of it. thanks for some delicious emergency food.

who would have known... all those years... all those cans... and all it took was 20 minutes to find a better solution. i used shitakke mushrooms. i almost forgot to add the flour, and had to add it 'gravy style' after the stock was in and boiling. it's still some of the best mushroom soup i've ever had. i thank you. my hubby thanks you. my cats probably thank you too

That was very good and very easy to make. I just replaced half the butter with olive oil (personal preference), and it was equally good. I also added some salt and pepper.

Thank you for this excellent recipe. I love mushrooms and ran across this and made it. It is much better than any premade mushroom soup that I've ever had. The only thing in making was that the paste formed when adding the flour was so extremely thick that I ended up putting some of the broth in early so that I could stir it. I served this with a crusty Italian style bread and my family loved it. I will definately be making this again. Next time I think I may try adding some Crimini mushrooms to the mix to see what that does to the flavor. I think it will be even better.

This was really good...only I felt it needed a little more flavor so I added some no salt added herb and spice seasoning...delicious! I also added 1 1/2 scallions chopped up. I also liked the idea of the sour cream...my daughter doesn't like cream of mushroom soup...but she sure does now!!! Great recipe!

I looked over several recipes, and then many of the reviews before choosing this recipe... am I ever glad I did! This soup is FANTASTIC! I had exactly 8oz mushrooms and wanted a thick creamy soup, so I reduced the liquid by 3c. Ultimately I used 5 c. stock, 1 c. half & half and 1 c. 1% milk, I added 1 small diced onion in step 1 and served it over a sprinkling of thyme in the bowl.... absolutely wonderful on a cool, rainy day! Thank You PanNan, I'll be back!

So rich, creamy and full of mushroom goodness!!! I used chicken stock and 2% milk and it still came out so delcious. I loved this creamy soup, but my BF said it reminded him of mushroom gravy... so thus the 4 stars... However, that gave me an idea... I used the leftover soup and combined it with some browned ground beef and served it over some egg noodles for dinner the next day. My BF thought it was the best stroganoff ever!!! Thanks so much for sharing this easy soup! I will never buy that canned stuff again!
