What a fabulous soup!! Of course, I find it hard to NOT love anything with mushrooms... I skipped the butter (just used a bit of water instead), used a medium-sized onion, and the dried thyme. I also used four cups of low-sodium vegetable broth. After blending it, I just decided to leave it as it was, without adding any milk -- all I would have done anyway was use fat-free soymilk, and it looked fine. I added some black pepper, but that's it, and I got six generous cups. Thanks for posting!!

Stay at home mom of 3, horse crazy vegetarian of 9 years. My passion is my 6 year old showjumping horse, Platinum Card (aka CASH) I ride on average 6 days a week and LOVE every minute of it! My other passion is food. I was raised with strong Italian grandparents living close by, need I say more!! One of my favorite childhood memories is rolling my grandmom's homemade Gnocci (ALWAYS my special request dinner) at her kitchen table with towel lined cookie sheets of them all over the house! My other grandparents were of Irish and German ancestory and owned a resturant. I guess my love of cooking and even more so, FEEDING people has come naturally. I love to plan menus and themes and I am addicted to Recipezaar! I am married to my best friend who is an ex-Pat New Zealander who craves pies & pineapple lumps. We love travel, soccer & rugby! Teenagers are my only pet-peeve :)
