this was a great recipe! i used just sliced mushrooms and then before i added the cream (I used heavy cream vs. half and half) i threw it in the food processor for a few seconds to get everything good and equally blended. turned out great!

Awesome recipe. We made it as directed, but with 1 package of shitake, and one of portabella. GOOD soup! Served with french bread, and we are happy!!

This is a fantastic recipe, one of my husbands favorites. I made this soup for my family (12 servings for only 5 people) and we ate it all. The sad part was that it was only a side dish. I did make a couple of modifications to the recipe. First, I used a combination of button and portobella mushrooms. Second, I used green onion finely chopped instead of shallots. Lastly, I omitted the cinnamon. The soup was wonderful.

This was a really easy and tasty! The store didn't have any shitake mushrooms, so I ended up using the same quantity of button mushrooms instead. I did find that 2 tablespoons of flour wasn't nearly enough to thicken the soup though.. I added around a half a cup and it came out creamy and delicious! I also omitted the cinnamon and added a few shakes of grill seasoning for a nice savory flavor. I sauteed 4 more shallots in about a half a cup of butter, spread the mix on thick pieces of sourdough bread and put them in a 400 degree oven to make crunchy croutons to dip in the soup :) Awesome!

Really excellent soup. I used all 2 cups portobellos and added about another 3/4 cup of buttons. Added 2 cloves of garlic and a tsp and a half of thyme. Might reduce it to one tsp next time. Also added a full 2 c of broth. Pureed most of the mushroom mixture as per a reviewer suggestion after it was done cooking; I prefer it with less whole chunks of mushroom. Omitted cinnamon topping. Great stuff!

Really good soup. I tweeked it a bit with spices, but I do that. I also used it for a green bean casserole that turned out great and was a big hit at Christmas. I topped it with dehydrated fresh onions tat I did myself and it was wonderful.

I've made this several times and EVERYBODY Loves it. I add a dash of McCormick’s ground Chipotle Chile Pepper to add a little smokiness. Delicious.

I followed the recipe to a "T" (will experiment later as I like to add my own flare/flavour after trying the posted recipe). Didn't have access to some of the kinds of mushrooms listed so, simply used white mushrooms diced up fine (not pureed). What a fabulous flavour. Was easy to make (my 3-yr old daughter was able to help). Recommend this recipe to anyone that wants something easy to make and tastes great. Will definitely be a family favourite. Wife isn't a fan of mushroom soup and now she can't get enough. Thank You!

Wonderful!!! Absolutely loved it! I used a variety of dried mushrooms I bought from Costco. I even put in too much cinnamon by accident. It will be added to my tried & trues!

Truly Amazing..... the one thing to add is 1/2 cup of white wine before the flour. Let the alcohol burn off for 2-3 mins. Soooo good.....thanks for the recipe (ps....i put the cream in but this recipe definitely does NOT need it...the colour and taste is so good before too)

What a great soup. I also took the others advice and added garlic and a little worchestorshire sauce to give it a little more flavor also used 2% milk and it was still very creamy. I used dry mushrooms and at the end put the soup in the blender to make a nice bisque. GREAT GREAT WONDERFUL!!

This soup is divine, even on a low-carb diet! I used white button mushrooms (all I had on hand), and heavy cream instead of the 1/2 and 1/2 (since I didn't use the flour for thickening), and added a teaspoon of minced garlic, a teaspoon of worcestershire sauce, a teaspoon of tarragon, AND cubed cooked chicken to make it more satiating. I topped it off with a sprinkling of nutmeg, instead of cinnamon. Rich and satisfying!

Pretty good stuff and really easy. It is rich, though! I think next time I will try using a bit less butter and a mix of mix and 1/2 and 1/2. But overall we liked it.

This was pretty good, added garlic powder for more flavor and used shitake, oyster and portabello mushrooms.

I love this soup.Quick and easy. I add white wine to mine.

this was delicious! I used milk instead of cream, but still was creamy. it was so good! you should try it.
