The tenth recipe I made for French Fridays with Dorie, from Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table cookbook, was Paris Mushroom Soup, found on pages 72-73.
The Soup Queen again found herself swooning at this one, oh, yes, it was that good. This is no Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup in a can, in fact, there is not a drop of cream in the soup at all. Okay, I did put some creme fraiche on the top, but only because I thought the photo needed a little something extra, so that and chives was it today.
Ingredient list: butter, onions, garlic, salt & pepper, mushrooms, white wine, parsley, rosemary, and chicken broth. (I also used chives and creme fraiche from her topping options list.) Everything listed is easy to find (well, if you can't find creme fraiche, you can always sub in some sour cream) and the recipe directions are very simple, so there is no reason at all to buy anything in a can ever again.
If you love mushrooms, you will love this soup, it's very fresh tasting and delicious...okay, in looks alone it doesn't win a beauty contest, but it gets exceptionally high marks from the tasting panel.
