MY daughter-in-law, a gourmet cook, served this soup as the first course for Thanksgiving dinner. She'd gotten the recipe from her mom and graciously shared it with me. Now I'm happy to pass it along to Reminisce readers. -Anne Kulick, Phillipsburg, New Jersey

This was a big disappointment. All I could taste was the flour so anyone that makes this recipe should use less flour. I might make this again but would defintely not use 6 TBS. of flour. I think you need to experiment with this recipe to come up with the correct measurements. I did go ahead and serve this but threw out the remainder.

So much better than canned, I even make it to use in other dishes like green bean casserole. My husband loves this soup and it is so easy to make.

I didn't have canned chicken broth so I used granulated broth. Too Salty. Reduced salt liquid broth would have been preferable. Taste was excellant regardless.

I thought this was excellent, and so easy. My husband said, "You scored!" We had this tonight with sandwiches. Great winter night supper. Will make this again for sure. I cooked a couple of cloves with garlic with the onion but made no other changes.

Delicious!! Very easy to make! One minor change ... I used corn starch instead of flour because I can usually taste the flour unless it's cooked in a roux.

Mmmm... so much better than canned soup, and almost as easy! I increased the mushrooms to 4 pints, and sauteed them until they released their liquid and it all evaporated. I followed the rest of the recipe as written. For a great flavor combination, try serving them with TOH's Onion & Cheddar Biscuits (see recipe at http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Onion---Cheddar-Biscuits ).
