I ate lunch today at Longwood Gardens at the 1906 Fine Dining Room.  <br />The Mushroom soup was EXCELLENT.  There were many thin slices of mushrooms.  Not all minced.  I scooped every last delicious morsel of soup in my bowl, longing for more.  <br />By contrast, this recipe has all minced mushrooms.<br />
