Answer 1

Rebecca's Creamy Mushroom Soup

A friend of mine made this at a party, and oh my GOD, it was good! I don't even like creamy soups, but I think I had three bowls of it! It's not a quick, easy recipe, but it's WELL worth the effort to make. If you try it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter (but I think I cheated and added about 1/2 stick more)
2 cups chopped yellow onion
2 pounds button mushrooms, sliced ( I think I used 4 of the large containers)
1 package portabella mushrooms, dark gills removed, cut into chunks
2 large garlic cloves, minced
8 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
2 cans (26 oz.) Campbell's? Cream of Mushroom OR 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves, crushed
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup Harvey's Bristol Creme Sherry

Saute first 5 ingredients until softened. Add mushroom soup and broth to pot. Bring to boil. Add chives and thyme. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 2 hours on low. Stir in whipping cream and sherry. Keep on low heat until served. Makes a lot of servings!
