MUSHROOM SOUP - GOMBA LEVES

My fascination with cream of mushroom soup began when great aunt Lizi took moa and second cousin Jettike to the Gundel in Budapest. Among other things, I had cream of mushroom soup. It was delicious, but it must have had copious amounts of heavy cream in it. A few years passed and I came to Canada where lo behold I discovered Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup. Admittedly it was one of the least artificial tasting canned soups of the day so I served it often. Then one day Jim rebelled and told me he hated it. So I reached back to the past and made a pot of my grandmother's mushroom soup. Now that was a hit!
