Quick and easy! I used EVOO instead of butter. I puree'd most of my mushrooms since I was trying to make something I could drink out of a travel mug on the go. I added a little garlic during cooking as well. I'll definitely make this again! - 12/28/09

I think I may have added garlic as well -- I'm a garlic fiend! The cook book I got this from is all about 5-ingredient dishes, which is probably why the onion is the only aromatic.
