Need mushroom soup recipe (Cream of Mushroom Soup)

January 17, 2003

Hi Jane. Hope I am not too late with this recipe. I like this soup.

It makes quite

alot but you can always use it as a casserole base as well; that is

what I do.

Soup on day #1, then a nice veggie casserole on day #2 with noodles

and

chopped veggies and a cracker crumb topping. Quite delicious.

P_T and rwhitt, thanks so much for the mushroom soup recipes. I ended up making a soup that was a combination of the two recipes. It was VERY yummy. I served the soup with a little sour cream on top, sprinkled with chives.

We also had rice and refried bean enchiladas and a salad. The only rice I had was a box of herb rice pilaf so I used that for the enchiladas. I mixed one cup pilaf with a can of refried beans, added sauted green peppers, 1/2 cup picante sauce and some grated cheddar cheese. Poured enchalada sauce over the top, sprinkled with cheddar and baked covered. They were great served with a little sour cream and leftover guacamole.

Oh, my d-i-l suggested I saute some red onions to sprinkle on top of the salads. Have any of you tried this? It's really great, it gives a wonderful flavor to any salad.

Thanks for helping me with dinner today!
