  1. Tasty soup on a cold day. I really enjoyed this recipe especially since it was low carb. It's hard to find low carb recipes and this one fit the bill. I made the recipe exactly as it called for, I was please with the results however I don't believe the number of servings is marked appropriately. This made no more then 4.5 cups and with a cup per person...it doesn't equate to the 6 servings this recipe is posted. Please make note of the portions and plan accordingly. Thank you very much for teh recipe, I will definately be making this again and will be sharing this with others.
     
  2. Very good soup. I doubled the recipe (mushrooms were on sale) and used 2% milk with just a little half and half since that is what I had on hand. When I sauteed the mushrooms, I went a little longer than five minutes, I sauteed them until they were squeaky and released their water. I admittedly used a low quality paprika, the bottom shelf stuff, and I was worried about that, but the soup is still delish. I also added a generous amount of cayenne, to compensate for the low quality of the paprika, and to add some heat. I made the chicken broth with Better than Boullion paste. My soup is a bit thinner than it would be if I had used heavy cream, but the flavors are still yummy.
     
  3. Very rich, delicious soup! We wanted a vegetable and some meat so I added some zucchini and Italian sausage. Because of the additions I added another cup of chicken broth and a little extra on some of the other ingredients. Wonderful treat on a low carb diet.
     
  4. This was great. I had eaten Hungarian Mushroom Soup at a dinner out and this was very similar. Even my fussy husband loved it. I lightened it up a little by using 1 cup broth and 2 cups fat free half and half along with my fat free sour cream. You couldn't tell it was low fat!
     
  5. This was amazing! I'm just learning to love mushrooms, and this is fantastic!

  1. This hearty, delicious soup warmed me right up after last night's snow! I used low-sodium soy sauce and substituted a cup of yogurt for sour cream, and it still turned out just perfectly. I did not find it too salty in the least; in fact, I added a touch more salt due to personal preference. This soup was easy to prepare, and I already had a majority of the ingredients on hand. I will absolutely make this again--thank you for sharing!
