This was a tasty easy recipe to prepare for lunch. I think I prefer beef stock instead of chicken, but it was still good as is, Thanks!

Awesome soup! So easy and delicious! Just added 1 tsp. garlic powder and a cup of chopped celery. I let is simmer on low for 2 hrs and it thickened up nicely.
Thanks for posting a great mushroom soup!
