I read the labels of two brands of cream of mushroom soup the last time I went to town; one from N.Z. and one from the US. I was immediately glad I haven’t bought any canned cream of mushroom soup for many years. Read more Homemade is just too easy and delicious. I love cream of mushroom soup and have a lot more free mushrooms than cheap lobster so this is the basic, no frills simply delicious version that my wife and I like for lunch. See less
