User Reviews:

Very good. I've been dieting and wanted some mushroom soup. I put this together with what I had in my house. If you don't have the canned milk dry powdered can be substituted with good results. I made this for two servings and substituted 2/3 non fat dry milk (equivialant of 2 cups) and added 1 cup of water for liquid. I also used dry onions. One tablespoon would be plenty. I love onions, but two tablespoons are too much.
