Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Naturalbohemian's Note:

This soup is delicious, it tastes just like the mushroom soup at a local restaurant. It comes from the cookbook "Eat, Drink and be Chinaberry". It is creamy and has a distinctive flavor, very Hungarian, and so good.

Lots of flavor and easy to make. I used 1 lb of mushrooms, just because I love lots of mushrooms. The lemon juice adds a nice tangy flavor. Thanx for a wonderful mushroom soup! It's a keeper!

Very satisfying soup. I made this with chicken stock (homemade) and also thickened it a little more than called for. I served it with the sour cream and parsley on the side.

Loved it. The only change I made was to thicken slightly more than what was called for in the recipe.
