This soup was very very good. A few changes I made.....
4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups water
2 cups of half and half instead of heavy cream
Added bite size pieces of Yukon Gold Potatoes

Delicious, but I would probably not make again because it's very time consuming.

WOW!!!! I had been to a local restaurant recently to have lunch. I had a wonderful Mushroom soup while I was there and couldn't stop thinking about it so I decided to try to make some myself. I searched the recipes on Food network and found Ina's "Cream of Wild Mushroon Soup" then I was fortunate enough to see her make it on a recent show. So..... off to the store I went and I bought everything I needed for her soup. Is was not difficult to make and it was absolutely fantastic!!!! I did add a little extra flour and only used 1/2 & 1/2 rather than heavy cream to lower the fat and calories a bit. It was still wonderful soup. You really need to try this one if you like mushroom soup. It doesn't get any better than this. My husband hates mushrooms but tasted this soup and loved it!!! I can't stay out of it, THANK YOU Ina :LOVE your shows. I pick a recipe from you shows and cook everyday!!!!

This is the best soup I've ever had. Period. I truly cannot believe how good it is.

The only thing I do differently is that I use a bit more mushrooms because the packages I buy tend to be over 5 oz and I love mushrooms. I also add a couple bay leaves. Other than that, follow this to the letter.

My apologies to the mushroom purists out there, and I love mushrooms myself, but I cut them a little too small. I was looking for something else to add to the soup to make it a bit heartier without going out to buy more mushrooms. I had some wild rice on hand, so I added it to the soup. It was delicious that way too! I always seem to rush to cook meals after work, so cooking things slowly was a nice change of pace and I had fun making this. My stock reduced and I needed to add water as the recipe called for. I didnt think of adding chicken stock as some other reviewers said, but I think that is a good idea for the next time. Thank you Ina. Hugs!

What a wonderful soup! I like the rich mushroom flavor, and I had to use common mushrooms, as my store did not have anything more exotic. I made the recipe almost exactly as written, and the only deviations were that I used some dried porcini in the broth, and I used a porcini sea salt throughout, instead of regular salt. Even though I used a lovely white wine, I did add a splash of sherry for some added flavor. The rest of the recipe, I followed as written. I will make this soup again; it is DELICIOUS!

Great mushroom soup recipe
live in Texas, but visiting family in PA & went to mushroom outlet & bought all 3 varities of "shrooms" & as my 89 yr old mom said it was one of my best. Subtituted organic chicken stock for half the water & a few oyster mushrooms.
Was work the effort, thanks Contessa.

I loved the rustic and earthy taste of this dish. I went a bit heavier on the mushrooms and replaced about half of the water used in making the broth with chicken stock. This added depth to the final dish. I also removed about a cup of soup from the pot and ran it through a food processor to add consistency to the broth (thanks meckdish. Serve with fresh French bread. Yum!

This is the best soup, I have made this seeral times and everyone loves it. It has become a great go to recipe and is requested at potlucks. I followed your recipe exactly and the best part that makes it great, is the mushroom stock. Will be making this for years to come. Thanks again Ina for a fantastic recipe!

This is a wonderful recipe! I made a few changes to make it a little healthier. I used 4 tablespoons instead of a quarter cup of butter and fat free greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. I also used an immersion blender to make it a little creamier. The result was AMAZING!!! All of my picky eaters loved it!
