If anyone is looking for an unbelievably delicious mushroom soup, and doesn't care about the calories (and I mean, doesn't care), this recipe is a treasure. The first time I made this, I had a crowd over for dinner & people were not only asking for the recipe, they were asking for some to take home!   Also, I have frozen this successfully. (originally from Gourmet magazine, I have never found it on their internet archives)
