Made this recipe pretty much as given, though I did cut it in half for the 2 of us! And, I did saute the mushrooms only until they were slightly tender, then set them aside, & added them again for the last 2 minutes of the final simmer! I much prefer mushrooms that are raw, but I'm OK with 'em if they're just barely cooked! Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed the soup & will be keeping the recipe around! Thanks for sharing it!

A wonderful soup on a crispy Fall day! I changed it up a bit, doubled mushrooms, 1 stalk of celery instead of celery seeds and red pepper and used green onions instead of leeks. I also used less flour and butter and used left over grilled chicken from the night before. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Made for 1-2-3 tag.

A delicious soup with very little work. I skipped the oil and browning from personal choice and used green onion as I didn't have leek. I really loved the outcome. The soup has a very well rounded flavor with depth. I served it for lunch with seedy crackers on this Fall day and it was a real hit. Do yourself a favor and give this a try. Made for Photo Tag.
