Michelle Chen
"Rich cream of mushroom soup, beats the canned variety any day. Garnish bowls with fresh chives and thyme. Use lemon thyme in place of the regular if you can find it."

Very tasty soup. A little different as mushrooms are not pureed but still good. I had no light cream in the house I used sour cream and it worked quite well.
