This is a lovely soup. I used champignons and I skipped butter, cream and flour since I am trying to eat light in the evening and the soup was for supper. I added 2 potatos, 2 onions and more spinach. The soup came out very light but very tasty, I love it!

Forgot to check the pantry/freezer before I made this; just knew I had to use up my mushrooms! Ended up using 2 cans of chicken broth, 1 can of low-fat mushroom soup, and 1/2 cup of milk. Also didn't have spinach, so I substituted canned asparagus spears. Also added 2 cloves of garlic. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe, Meg Fisher!

This was ok, but also added some garlic and onion to make it a bit more tasty. But good idea, and my 2 yr old also liked it so definately a keeper.

VERY GOOD! I used a combination of both this recipe and your lower fat version and it was delicious. I used baby bella mushrooms and added a shallot. I also added some garlic and used lowfat milk instead of the whipping cream. It all came together very quickly! Thanks for posting.
