notes

If you're looking for a more traditional Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe, I would add in the 1/2 to 1 cup heavy cream. This is a healthier dairy free version that is yummy and just as good in my opinion. 

Most any mushrooms work here but I used WHITE BUTTON MUSHROOMS.

I used low sodium chicken broth.
