My sister-in-law telephoned me looking for a good cream of mushroom soup recipe. I gave her this hearty one. It gets its boost from a splash of hot pepper sauce. —Julia Thornely, Layton, Utah

This was delicious. I made a few adjustments... I didn't have cream so I used half and half instead and I only used 1.5 cups of it... Just to reduce calories. I also only had black pepper and only used 1/2 teaspoon. I also added 1 tblsp garlic while sautéing the veggies.. Turned out fab!

After reading all of the glowing reviews, I decided this would be the perfect soup to make for a cold rainy night--WRONG! It was so bad there was only one thing I could do with it and that's throw it down the disposer. Perhaps it was the amount of pepper. I thought the addition of black and white pepper was a bit much so I only added half the amount of white pepper and used just a few dashes of hot pepper sauce. When I tasted the soup, it tasted like milky pepper soup. Tried adding a few ingredients to give it more flavor but to no avail. Save your money and time and find another recipe!

This is by far one of the best soups I have ever eaten. Creamy goodness! I will definately fix this soup often.

OMG! I made this last year a few times because it is so delicious and I have been craving it again this year! Sooo good! I use Shredded chicken and left out the Tarragon as I do not have it and added extra hot sauce (I used tapatio for my soup)

Cant wait to make it again on a cold day : )

We're not big soup fans in our family, but everyone LOVED this soup! My 9 year old even asked to take some to school for lunch the next day!

I made this the other night and it was wonderful. I left out the tarragon as I did not have it but used sweet basil instead. I also added steamed asparagus and it was a huge hit.

This was a VERY good 'rich' tasting soup. I made it for dinner, my husband loved it!However due to it's 'bold' flavor, I'd reccomend it as a compliment to dinner.
