"Excellent! As good as any mushroom soup I've had in a restaurant. I did change it a little and made it a easier. I sauteed the onions in a little butter and oil until the onions were soft and clear..." See more. Then I added sliced baby portabella mushrooms with a little salt and cooked on low about 5 minutes. I think this step brings out the sweetness of the onions and flavor of the mushrooms. Then I added the chicken broth. When I don't have time to make the broth I use a good quality soup base that has chicken listed as the first ingredient on the label. This is as good as any broth you would make, not like bullion cubes. I skipped step two because I like whole mushrooms. I like it better this way and it also saves time and mess. To thicken the soup I just used my tupperware mixer and mixed the flour with a little water. I added this to the soup mixture then added the half and half and the sherry. I used the fat free half and half and no one had a clue. Everyone loved it! Next time I'll make a bigger batch."
