Vegetarian Cream of Mushroom Soup

"This is adapted from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Maddison. I love the flavor and simplicity of this soup. It originally calls for cream and mushroom stock but I have cut the fat by using 2% milk and veggie bouillon instead. Feel free to use full fat ingredients if calories are not an issue! You can fry a few mushroom slices in butter as a garnish to make it even better!"

  1. YUMMY! We LOVED this HEALTHY TASTY VEGETARIAN soup! I used the leeks, 1 percent milk and 1/4 tsp of dried thyme. Freddy Cat says it was nice visiting you!
     
  2. I'm having this soup for dinner right now. It is soooo good! Love it. Thankyou for posting.
     
  3. What a fabulous soup!! Of course, I find it hard to NOT love anything with mushrooms... I skipped the butter (just used a bit of water instead), used a medium-sized onion, and the dried thyme. I also used four cups of low-sodium vegetable broth. After blending it, I just decided to leave it as it was, without adding any milk -- all I would have done anyway was use fat-free soymilk, and it looked fine. I added some black pepper, but that's it, and I got six generous cups. Thanks for posting!!
     
  4. I used skim milk and this was still nicely creamy. Also used mushroom bouillon cubes rather than vegetable. Nice flavor.

Stay at home mom of 3, horse crazy vegetarian of 9 years. My passion is my 6 year old showjumping horse, Platinum Card (aka CASH) I ride on average 6 days a week and LOVE every minute of it! My other passion is food. I was raised with strong Italian grandparents living close by, need I say more!! One of my favorite childhood memories is rolling my grandmom's homemade Gnocci (ALWAYS my special request dinner) at her kitchen table with towel lined cookie sheets of them all over the house! My other grandparents were of Irish and German ancestory and owned a resturant. I guess my love of cooking and even more so, FEEDING people has come naturally. I love to plan menus and themes and I am addicted to Recipezaar! I am married to my best friend who is an ex-Pat New Zealander who craves pies & pineapple lumps. We love travel, soccer & rugby! Teenagers are my only pet-peeve :) <br> <br>http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/293971/picasabackground.jpg <br> <br>http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/293971/PB100026.JPG
