This was a very tasty soup...perfect for mushroom lovers like myself. Next time I make it, I might reduce the amount of butter included; there was quite a bit of oil on the top of the soup (then again, the butter really tastes great in this). I also pureed half the soup so the broth was a little thicker...just a personal preference, though. Thanks for sharing the recipe! I made the full amount, and I'm going to enjoy every serving. :) UPDATE: I reheated some of this soup after freezing it...it was so amazing that I just have to change my rating to 5 stars. My boyfriend really enjoyed it, too.
