absolutely great! very easy to make and you don't need to be too exact with amounts - i just used extra milk rather than cream and it's still beautifully creamy. thoroughly recommend this recipe. - 26 Mar 2010
I just made this soup and it was loved by all the family, from my 1 year old to my partner who usually has some critisism of anything I make. This time there was not one bad comment from anyone. I had a lot of mushrooms to use up so I more than doubled all the ingredients except the cream and milk and it came out beautifully!!! Will definately be making again - 28 Feb 2012
just made it, tastes very good. I did not measure anything other than 800ml of veg stock. I used 2 kinds of mushrooms, 1 onion, and left over double cream. Used the blender to give a nice texture! - 13 Jan 2012
