    Not a big mushroom soup fan but friend made it for me so, well, had to try it. Actually very good. Kinda like a mushroom french onion, so with leftovers did the croutons and cheese in the oven. Then fantastic, but not exactly low calorie. - 7/25/11

    Fixed with homemade croutons and topped with cheese it was very much like a wonderful French Onion soup - - 7/28/11
