I made this for my husband tonight, so I'm giving his review--he loved it!! He did think there were too many mushrooms (I made 1/2 the recipe so used 8oz mushrooms) & for next time asked me to use 1/2 the amount. BUT he loved the flavor; thought it was perfect. I added 1/4 tsp seasoning salt & didn't use any browning sauce--maybe I'll try worchestershire sauce next time? I sauteed the mushrooms in light butter cuz hubby likes that flavor. I used 1/2 skim milk & 1/2 fat free half & half--but hubby requested a thicker broth next time so I'll use more flour. Overall, an easy, delicious recipe that went over great with my husband. Thanks so much!!!

Excellent and very simple at the same time. It's almost impossible to eat just one bowl. I just found a new soup to add to my favorites. The only thing I'll do differently next time is make a double batch! Also, I used regular milk and chicken broth for this instead of lowfat, and only 8 ounces of mushrooms because that's all I had. Still delicious!
