MY HUSBAND AND I BELONG TO A CHURCH BASED ON POLISH HERITAGE. EACH CHRISTMAS WE HAVE A CHRISTMAS DINNER AT CHURCH (CALLED WIGILIA) AND IT BEGINS WITH A MOST DELICIOUS MUSHROOM SOUP. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ANYTHING THAT RESEMBLES THIS SOUP. THIS RECIPE IS ABOUT THE CLOSEST I'VE FOUND. IT IS S-O-O-O-O-O EASY TO MAKE AND IS ESPECIALLY DELICIOUS.

I served this at a formal dinner party and the guests raved! I tried a whole selection of mushrooms also. I just don't think you can mess this recipe up - it's so easy and so good! I saved some of the mushrooms to garnish on top too. Great presentation!

The cook: 33 year-old, cooking-challenged bachelor. The victims: 5 family members over for Thanksgiving. The verdict: a great soup! Easy and quick to make, a hearty, rich soup that tastes wonderful. Not for the lactose-intolerant, though.

This soup has a delicous flavour but the butter could be cut back considerably. I pureèd about 2/3 of the soup once it was cooked to make it a "creamed" soup - something I would recommend be added to the recipe's original directions.

Came out like dirty dishwater. Don't know if I made it right or not.

Like another reviewer, I put half of the finished soup in the blender to make this more of a "creamy" soup. The flavor is a little bland - I added some garlic, but it needs something else too, not sure what. Put some grated parmesan cheese on top before serving!

This was so much better than the stuff you get out of cans! I added a little dried thyme and added a little olive oil to the butter at the beginning, and it was marvelous. Garlic might have been a good addition as well. Too bad I'm the only one I know who likes mushrooms. Oh, well, more for me!
