As a child, my introduction to cream of mushroom soup was the Campbell’s condensed variety. I would eat it over brown rice for a quick meal. Yum! Older and wiser now, and seeking to avoid the high sodium, high fat and MSG found in my favorite canned soup, I was delighted to find this delicious, dairy free version. Serve it up with a beautiful green salad or try it as a gravy over mashed potatoes or your favorite steamed veggies.
