This was excellent. I didn't have the celery so I used 1 tsp. celery salt and a pound of bacon. I really enjoyed this soup. Thanx=) -
I really enjoyed this soup. I halved the amount of butter, otherwise, I made it as written. Lovely flavor and texture. Thanx for posting; I'll make this again...and I think next time I'll use a whole pound of mushrooms.
