I thank you all for the kind review of this soup. I do love soup even though mushroom is not one of my faves. This is mostly a cooking ingredient for me although Ed eats it as a "bowl of soup". Thanks!

I love this recipe! I am going to try and substitute low fat evaporated milk for the heavy cream. I've done it before many times in things like this and it usually comes out great and a substantial amount of fat calories will be trimmed.
I found this group on a search on here. Pretty cool group. Neat idea. I'll be hanging around here in the days to come!
