My first cream of mushroom soup that I made. Turned out great. I did use heavy cream instead of Half and H, since that's what I had on hand. I imagine this will be the only cream of mushroom recipe that I will ever use. Thanks for the keeper.

This was absolutely delicious. I added garlic powder and a little cayenne powder too. It's a keeper!

So delicious! I added garlic salt and cayenne pepper as others have done-- it made for a wonderful meal with home-baked bread! Thank you for sharing this easy recipe. I also don't think I can ever go back to the canned version.
