Kimberly’s Favorite Creamy Mushroom Soup:
This soup recipe, I’ve customized from a similar recipe in The Maker’s Diet for me because cream of mushroom soup is my absolute fave, and I wanted a version that is healthier.
This is a step up to a gourmet treat! I have since adapted this recipe to my own liking.
