TRIO OF MUSHROOM SOUP (CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP)

Trio of Mushroom Soup (Cream of Mushroom Soup) image

Had this cream of mushroom soup at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island during a wedding; came home the next day and recreated it to the best of my abilities. After tasting it and then adding the cream, I decided in the future to just remove the cream altogether! It is a fantastic soup that works well on cold winter days.
