Recipe Note

Had this cream of mushroom soup at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island during a wedding;came home the next day and recreated it to the best of my abilities. After tasting it and then adding the cream, I decided in the future to just remove the cream altogether! It is a fantastic soup that works well on cold winter days.
