After looking for a cream soup to make with the ingredients I had on hand, I decided to try this mushroom soup recipe. Oh my...it was absolutely delicious! Definitely a winner and something I'll make again!

great, thick and very creamy. I think you could get away with a bit less cream cheese...but it is a lovely soup.

We used 3 tablespoons of butter and 8 ounces of cream cheese, and it turned out delicious!

Really good and so easy. I used less butter, more onions and only 4 oz cream cheese because that's what I had.
