Hungarian Mushroom Soup, from the Moosewood Cookbook

Nana Lee's Note:

As I've said before, I LOVE mushrooms, so here is another great recipe using them. Make this with a variety of mushrooms,and hot paprika, or smoked paprika, very nice. This is from Marie on another recipe site. Mega suggested the following: "One thing I changed was to use an 8oz brick of low fat cream cheese instead of the milk and flour. " Give it a try!

We LOVED this soup. Everyone at it so fast that I immediately made a second batch. One thing I changed was to use an 8oz brick of low fat cream cheese instead of the milk and flour.

This was delicious. My son and I made this as suggested with a brick of cream cheese rather than using milk and flour. We used baby bella mushrooms. The only other change we made was using 1 less cup of stock per another reviewer and put it over our homemade egg noodles Delicious Homemade Egg Noodles. Doubled recipe for both.
