This is absolutely delicious! I agree with other reviewers--the problem is trying not to eat of all of this in one sitting! I made it for Christmas gifts this year, and everyone raved about it, with several people asking for the recipe. My only alterations to this recipe were--substituted All Bran cereal for oat bran, no almonds (didn't have them), and no raisins or cranberries (in case people didn't like them). Otherwise I made as directed and it was great!

As written this soup is pretty good. It needs some added flavor though. With some tweaking I think it could be great. I made it as written this time to see how it turned out. It definitely needs a few changes for my taste. I agree with other reviewers that beef stock might be better. I think it would lend a stronger flavor to the soup, and would compliment the mushrooms better than chicken stock. I also would add garlic next time, and maybe a splash of worchestershire sauce. It's a good base that I can adjust to suit my taste. Will definitely make again.
