Delicious Mushroom Soup

My Mom and I share a love for homemade soups and share and compare recipes all the time. This is what we had for lunch the other day. Originally from allrecipes.com, this is my version of a mushroom soup that tastes like the very popular cream of mushroom soup in the red and white label, but without the cream. Hope you like it as well.
